Yankees' Jhony Brito: Could return April 12

Manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Brito could return to the Yankees on April 12 when they need a No. 5 starter, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Brito was sent down to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after his MLB debut Sunday, but it had nothing to do with how he pitched. The right-hander gave up just two hits over five scoreless frames while picking up a victory over the Giants, but the Yankees won't need a fifth starter until next week. Assuming Luis Severino (lat) isn't ready to come off the injured list, it would be a surprise if anyone but Brito was starting for New York next Wednesday.
