Joe Girardi hinted after last night’s game that the Yankees might make a roster move today to add a position player, but that will not happen and they will stick with a 13-man pitching staff through the weekend. Furthermore, Phil Hughes will be available out of the bullpen on Sunday (his throw day), but only in an emergency. Right now he is still scheduled to start Tuesday, and A.J. Burnett on Wednesday. That would change if Phil came on in relief this weekend. Ivan Nova will also remain on schedule, so it sounds like they’re going to do the six-man rotation thing for at least one more turn through the rotation, or at least are leaning that way right now.
