CC Sabathia LHP

Some Notes:

– The Yankees announced that Hiroki Kuroda will be pushed back a day in the rotation. He’ll start Sunday instead. Phil Hughes will start tomorrow leaving Andy Pettitte to presumably start the Diamondback series.

– Tonight’s game is on My9. Not on YES.

– Cleveland Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco was suspended for six games as well as fined an undisclosed amount for intentionally hitting Kevin Youkilis with a pitch on Tuesday.

– If you’re going to the stadium tonight, you might want to dress warm and bring an umbrella just in case. There’s a 40% chance of showers at 7 p.m.

The weather doesn’t look all that great, but the Indians and Yankees are going to try to squeeze this one in. Here’s the lineup:

RHP Phil Hughes

Notes:

– Cody Eppley wasn’t listed on the lineup card, meaning that he could possibly be the move for Phil Hughes.

– Today the Yankees get Hughes off the disabled list, which one would take as good news but he was scheduled to start in Scranton today before getting the call. I admit, I’m a bit worried about bringing Hughes in without one final tuneup.

Here we are with the quick turn-around. Last night the Yankees were in the Bronx, today they’re in Detroit. Here’s the lineup:
