Yankees catcher Chris Stewart, who has missed the last four starts due to a groin injury, completed more tee and toss work Tuesday, the Journal News reports. 

Manager Joe Girardi said he expects Stewart back in the lineup over the weekend. In fact, Stewart could be used Tuesday in an emergency. 

The Yankees have no real plan for injured starter Andy Pettitte just yet, the Journal News reports Tuesday. 

"They're giving him five or six days off from throwing," manager Joe Girardi said. "He's not scheduled to throw yet."

Girardi said that Pettitte may throw a simulated game instead of going on a real rehab assignment for his strained trapezius muscle. 

Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira took four simulated at-bats Tuesday, the Journal News reports. 

"They told me Tex saw 40 to 45 pitches in four ABs," manager Joe Girardi said of the at-bats in the simulated games being longer than normal at-bats. "I don't imagine that's (a real game). I don't know how you do that." 

Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain will make a rehab appearance in Tampa Wednesday, the Journal News reports. That said, he won't be activated off the disabled list right away. 

Manager Joe Girardi said he expects Chamberlain to make at least two rehab outings. He won't be off the DL until at least next week. 

"I don't know if it will be the weekend," Girardi said. "I think he'll probably do two turns, then we'll evaluate and make sure he's doing OK." 

Yankees third baseman Kevin Youkilis took three at-bats Tuesday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Youkilis took some batting practice and fielding drills Monday. 

Youkilis was only tracking pitches Monday but was allowed to swing away Tuesday. He remains at least a week away from returning for the Yankees.
