News and Notes (Courtesy of MLB.com):
- Manager Joe Girardi has tabbed Sergio Mitre to take Pettitte’s spot in the rotation for the time being. Mitre, who spent the past month on the disabled list recovering from a strained left oblique, will be starting his third game of the season on Saturday against the Royals, aiming to sustain Pettitte’s early-season success.
- “Definitely, it’s going to be a tough loss for the next month, so I’m not trying to fill anybody’s shoes, especially his — they’re pretty big,” said Mitre, who is 0-1 with a 2.88 ERA in 12 games (two starts) this year.
- The Yankees promoted right-hander Jonathan Albaladejo from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday to take Pettitte’s roster spot and join the bullpen. … Trevor Bell, sent to Triple-A Salt Lake to prepare for a starting role, threw a scoreless inning on Tuesday.
The game will take place at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. It’s slated to start at 1:05PM ET. The game is being televised on the YES Network. The game can also be heard on the radio on WCBS 880. Enjoy the game. Go Yankees!

Here’s hoping for a better outcome than last night. We hit Piniero pretty hard last time around and it’s time for Javy to crank it up.
Miranda-Granderson-Cervelli…that ain’t right. lol. We can only hope that the offense runs on all cylinders today.
