News
Yankees starter CC Sabathia, who took the mound Tuesday against the Mariners after his last start was cut short due to rain, struck out 10 batters over 6 1/3 innings. He was on the hook for the loss in the outing until Robinson Cano tied the score with a two-run double in the seventh inning. Sabathia (4-3) came up short in his bid to beat Felix Hernandez. The two-run homer he allowed to former teammate Raul Ibanez in the sixth inning was enough to send him to a no-decision. The veteran ace allowed three runs -- two earned -- on 10 hits and two walks with the 10 Ks over 6 1/3 innings. He threw 112 pitches. His ERA is 3.19. Despite going 0-1 over his last three outings, Sabathia has only allowed five earned runs over a span of 16 1/3 innings. He will make his next start Sunday versus Toronto.

Oblique - 15-day DL. On Triple-A rehab assignment (Updated - 5/16/13)
News
Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain is nearing a rehab assignment after throwing a long-toss session Saturday, MLB.com reports. "Everything's good," Chamberlain told MLB.com. "I'm just getting everything around it strong so we can get it done with and not let it linger. I'll continue to play long toss, throw a bullpen and get back going on rehab. "To take a few extra days isn't the worst thing in the world," he said. Chamberlain has a 3.86 ERA in 9 1/3 innings.

Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano smashed two, two-run home runs on Saturday during a 7-2 win over the Blue Jays. Cano went deep in the third inning off Brandon Morrow and again took him deep in the fifth. He has 12 homers on the year. Cano went 2 for 4 in the game, raising his average to .295. He's driven in runs in three straight games and has 31 RBI on the year.

News
Yankees starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda turned in a stellar performance as he picked up his sixth win of the season Friday night against the Blue Jays. Kuroda (6-2), who made his ninth start of the season, fired eight scoreless innings and surrendered just two hits. He struck out five and walked one in a 5-0 victory. Kuroda has five starts with eight-plus scoreless innings since the start of the 2012 season. The only pitcher with more over that span is Felix Hernandez (eight). Kuroda is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday at Baltimore. He pitched a complete-game shutout in his previous meeting against the Orioles on April 14.

News
Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez "felt pretty good" after hitting off a tee and taking soft toss Wednesday, according to manager Joe Girardi. Rodriguez began taking part in baseball activities Monday as he continues to work his way back from hip surgery. Girardi told reporters that the team has yet to issue a concrete timetable for Rodriguez's return. Rodriguez is not expected to return until after the All-Star break. “I think it’s way too early to project,” Girardi said.

Granderson is batting sixth for the Yankees behind Lyle Overbay. Granderson, who had no issue with the move to right field, has gone 4 for 11 thus far this season after returning from injury. He's yet to hit his first homer or drive in his first run.

Injuries
Shoulder - 60-day DL. Out until at least early June (Updated - 3/31/13)
News
Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda (shoulder) will throw four innings and 50 pitches at the team's spring training complex on Friday, according to The Star Ledger. Pineda will need to build up more arm strength before embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. Pineda could last the maximum 30 days once he starts his assignment. The team has yet to issue a concrete timetable for the 24-year-old. "I expect him to pitch for us," manager Joe Girardi said. "We've said [he’ll be back] sometime during the summer. I know summer starts officially in about a month. But sometime in the summer, we expect him."

Position Breakdown

News
Yankees outfielder Vernon Wells has experienced a season of firsts. A few weeks ago he played third base for the first time in his career and Wednesday against the Mariners he played second base for the first time. Wells started at DH Wednesday, but when manager Joe Girardi needed a pitcher in the ninth inning of Wednesday's 12-2 loss, he turned to infielder Alberto Gonzalez to get the final out, which prompted Wells to come off the bench to play second base. "We needed one out," Girardi told The Star-Ledger. "It’s not something I want to do. But for me to bring in another pitcher, it doesn’t make a ton of sense there. We’re down 10 runs, with three outs to go. They have a full bullpen, with their closer rested. I just figured, put him at second base."

Injuries
Wrist - 60-day DL. Out until at least early June (Updated - 5/12/13)
News
Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira said Tuesday his rehab is going "great" and he expects to be in the majors by June 1, MLB.com reports. Teixeira isn't eligible to return to the Yankees' roster until May 30 as he was shifted to the 60-day disabled list earlier in the month. He took batting practice for the first time last week. Expect him to head out on a rehab assignment at some point in the next couple of weeks if he is to actually reach his goal of being ready by June 1.

Triceps, side - 15-day DL. Out until at least mid-May (Updated - 5/12/13)
News
Yankees starter Ivan Nova, on the 15-day disabled list with triceps inflammation, will throw a side session Monday, according to manager Joe Girardi. Nova recently suffered a setback and was scratched from Monday's doubleheader against the Indians after feeling soreness in his upper back. The Yankees are expected to send him for another rehab outing before he returns to the rotation.

	David Phelps, #41

News
Yankees starter David Phelps had a fine performance on Saturday at home against the Blue Jays. Phelps earned the win, his first as a starter, to improve to 2-2 on the year. He allowed just one earned run in the fourth inning on a Colby Rasmus single. Phelps gave up six hits and walked three over seven solid innings and 113 pitches. The starter, who struck out eight batters and lowered his ERA to 3.83, is scheduled to make his next outing Friday at Tampa Bay. Phelps lost his last time out, but has now allowed just two earned runs over his last two outings spanning 13 2/3 innings with 15 Ks.

News
Yankees closer Mariano Rivera was flattered when asked about an increasingly popular internet petition to get him to start the All-Star game, but told MLB.com Thursday he would prefer to stay in his comfort zone. "It would mess up everything," said Rivera. "It would be the first time I've started, I think, since 1995. I don't think it would be right. I'd rather close the game than start the game." Rivera, a 12-time All-Star, has converted all 16 of his save opportunities in the final season of his career. The 43-year-old veteran is MLB's all-time leader in saves (624) and games finished (910). Rivera would earn another spot on the national stage with an All-Star game appearance at Citi Field. "I do respect everyone trying to do it," Rivera said. "But first of all, I have to be there first. Second of all, I don't start. That's not what I do. I know they want to honor me for my career, and I know it's here in New York. But the thing is, I wouldn't be comfortable making a start."

Injuries
Neck, back - 15-day DL. Out until at least early June (Updated - 5/17/13)
News
The Yankees have officially placed starter Andy Pettitte on the 15-day disabled list with a strained trapezius muscle. Pettitte, who left Thursday's start against the Mariners, was pretty "spasm'd up," according to general manager Brian Cashman. Cashman also told reporters that his injury is considered "minor" and that the team was willing to make the "safe play" by taking a cautious approach with his injury. The 40-year-old lefty went 4-3 with a 3.83 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP in eight starts before landing on the disabled list.

News
The Yankees recalled pitcher Dellin Betances from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Thursday and optioned Brett Marshall back to the Triple-A team. Betances, who was once a top starting pitcher prospect, will work in relief. Betances was recently shifted to the bullpen at Triple-A. He's allowed a run on two hits and a walk in 4 1/3 innings as a reliever this year. He also struck out four.

News
Yankees starting pitcher Phil Hughes continued his rollercoaster season Wednesday against the Mariners after not making it out of the first inning. After a 1.93 ERA over a four-start stretch from April 18-May 4, Hughes has an 18.47 ERA in his last two starts. "I feel like I’ve (been able to grind with bad stuff) sometimes," Hughes said to The Journal News. "But there are other nights where it feels like everything you do is not working and not happening. That’s where nights like this happen. Hopefully this is a 1-in-100 type thing. I remember I’ve had bad nights where I’d get 12 outs or something, but I don’t think I can remember having an outing like this before. It’s tough to swallow, but it happens to everybody. No one’s going to feel sorry for you, so I have to throw my bullpen in two days and move on." Hughes added he will sit down with pitching coach Larry Rothschild and try to figure out where to go from here. "I’d like to just get back to three starts ago, not really worry about what was bad about this one or what was bad about that one," he said. "Just clear my head of these last two and go forward, really get back to what I was doing."
