Quite A Tuneup
I think Phil Hughes is ready to come back, the question is, do the Yankees agree? Six innings, two hits, one walk and seven K's over 73 pitches is pretty impressive, but I imagine the Yankees will go ahead an pitch him Sunday in AAA.
With next week's day off the Yankees can juggle things so that Igawa doesn't pitch again after Thursday (I can hear you celebrating) and then slot Hughes in for Saturday the 4th against KC.
Comments
I see them being cautious. Igawa won his last two starts, albeit very luckily. That buys Hughes an extra start. KC at home is a nice game to give him the ball.
