Sir Ian is back... and the Yankees needed to make room. So, they've opted to send Kei Igawa back down to the minors after just one start.

Bryan Hoch reports that A-Rod is on track for a Tuesday return after being cleared for rehab this afternoon. ... He will go through a light workout Friday and would play third base on Saturday at the Yankees' Minor League complex, logging four ...

Mike Mussina has been caught in quite a few pitchers' duels so far this season, and surprisingly enough to some, he's been the one outdueling the other starter more often than not. Mussina put together another good start Wednesday night as the Yan...

Robbie hits the .200 barrier first. For the last week, it looked like Giambi would get there first (heading into tonight at .194) but tonight's 0-for-3 (with a walk) drops him back to .188 while Robbie has gone 3-for-3 (so far) to put him at .200 ...

It's awfully hard to win games when you only score 1 run in 11 innings. The Yankees offense was held to a whisper thanks to Rays' pitchers Edwin Jackson (4.04 ERA coming in, 7 innings pitched tonight), Dan Wheeler (1.35, 1), Troy Percival (1.93, 1...

Bryan Hoch reports that the Yankees will not give Kei Igawa his planned two starts, opting to cut him off at one and send him to the bullpen. Ian Kennedy will be recalled on Thursday and will pitch that day against the Devil Rays. Girardi sa...

The Yankees had hoped that A-Rod would return in the lineup on the day he was eligible to come off the disabled list, which is Thursday. Unfortunately, his injury has not healed as quickly as they would have liked. The earliest he'll be returning ...

The Yankees struggled offensively due to a good pitching performance by Matt Garza, and Andy Pettitte had a really rough 4th inning as the Rays took the opener of this four-game set by a score of 7-1. A loss by the Red Sox keeps the Yankees back b...

Today's game was washed out...so with the Yankee rotation machinations, it looks like (schedule certainly subject to change) Kei Igawa's next start won't actually happen. I assume that all the starters (Pettitte, Wang & Moose) essentially...

Steve Serby has a good Q&A with Derek Jeter, covering a myriad of topics - on and off the field.

Darrell Rasner coming through again. 6 solid innings with 2 runs given up. Can you ask for more than that? Well, then you're just being greedy. The Yankees got on the board first with a solo shot from Derek Jeter (his first of the year as MLB....

These announcers have been something else today... They've gotten the number of outs in the inning wrong, they've called A-Rod "Pudge", mispronounced Derek Jeter's last name...but this takes the cake. They started talking about Joba...

Unfortunately, Jonathan Albaladejo's elbow injury, during yesterday's game, has forced the Yankees to place the reliever on the 15-day disabled list. Albaladejo described the feeling as a "pain similar to a needle in the bone part of his...

Kei Igawa's first Major League start of 2008 was, in a word, ugh-tastic. The lefty lasted only 3 innings, allowing 11 hits and 6 earned runs. He didn't walk anyone, but he didn't strike out anyone, either. He left the game in the 4th, down 6-1, wi...

Or is it Ig-tastic? Here's the line. 3 innings (and he pitched to 4 guys in the 4th, allowing 2 to score and leaving 2 men on), 11 hits, 6 ERs. On the positive side, he did throw 41 of 64 pitches for strikes...so that's a nice foundation to bui...
