Yankees manager Joe Girardi indicated that Ivan Nova (triceps, side) is slated to pitch Monday in Tampa.
Nova, currently sidelined with triceps inflammation, experienced discomfort in his upper back while playing catch over the weekend. However, it apparently wasn't a major setback. The assumption is that he'll pitch in extended spring training on Monday, though there's nothing official on that yet. David Phelps will continue to fill his spot in the rotation for now.

Ivan Nova (triceps) felt pain in his left side while playing catch on Sunday.

It's not clear how long the new ailment will set Nova back, but it obviously rules the right-hander out for a start during Monday's doubleheader. David Phelps will continue to serve as the Yankees' fifth starter.

Ivan Nova allowed two runs over four-plus innings Wednesday in a start at extended spring training.

Nova was only scheduled to throw two innings, but he felt good enough to truly test his right triceps muscle and came out of the start feeling fine. The 26-year-old right-hander is hoping to return for Monday's doubleheader against the Indians, but the Yankees might ask him to make a few more starts down on the farm.

Ivan Nova (triceps) will pitch two innings in extended spring training Wednesday.

Nova landed on the disabled list late last month due to right triceps inflammation. Assuming all goes well on Wednesday, he should be cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment. David Phelps will continue to take his spot in the rotation for now.

Yankees placed RHP Ivan Nova on the 15-day disabled list with right triceps inflammation.

Nova was removed in the third inning of Friday's win over the Blue Jays with discomfort in his throwing arm. The Yankees have called up Vidal Nuno to replace him on the active roster. David Phelps will take Nova's spot in the starting rotation.

Ivan Nova left Friday's start against the Blue Jays in the third inning due to pain in his right elbow.

Nova surrendered a pair of runs on four hits over his two-plus innings of work before exiting. No word on the extent of the injury, but we should know more after he goes for an MRI. David Phelps is the most likely option to replace him in the rotation.

Ivan Nova was removed from Friday's start against the Blue Jays in the third inning with an apparent injury.

No word yet on the cause or extent of the injury, but Nova walked off the field with the trainer. The team should release an update on his status shortly. Nova threw 54 pitches in his two-plus innings of work and was charged with two runs to go along with two strikeouts and zero walks.

Ivan Nova was knocked around for four runs on seven hits and four walks over just five frames in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Another disappointing effort. Nova has still failed to record an out beyond the fifth inning this season, and he's given up fewer than four runs on just one occasion. David Phelps would be a candidate to take Nova's rotation spot, but he's also struggled. Nova will try to bounce back next weekend in another chance against the Jays.

Ivan Nova allowed two runs in five innings as the Yankees defeated the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Nova was hittable -- he gave up seven hits in his five innings -- but limited the damage well enough to get the win. He struck out six batters and has now fanned 11 in 9 2/3 innings. He's an interesting AL-only option, but nothing more for the time being. He'll start next against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Wednesday's game between the Yankees and Indians has been postponed due to rain.

No makeup date has been announced. Both teams will stick with their originally scheduled starters (Zach McAllister and Phil Hughes) on Thursday. That means Corey Kluber and Ivan Nova will be skipped.

Ivan Nova surrendered four runs in 4 2/3 innings Friday in a loss to the Tigers.

Manager Joe Girardi opted to pull Nova with a 3-2 lead in the fifth with two on, two out and Prince Fielder up. Boone Logan came in and gave up a three-run homer, putting Nova in line for the loss. The right-hander is now 0-2 with an 8.83 ERA in four career starts against Detroit.

Ivan Nova gave up five runs -- four earned -- in 5 1/3 innings Friday against the Twins.

Justin Morneau and Ryan Doumit hit back-to-back homers off him in the second, accounting for two of the seven hits he allowed. After opening the spring by allowing one run in nine innings, Nova has given up nine runs -- eight earned -- and three homers over 11 innings in his last two starts. He's still likely to be the Yankees' fifth starter, but we're not really expecting much.

Ivan Nova surrendered four runs in five innings Sunday in a no-decision against the Pirates.

Nova's first poor outing of the spring still wasn't too bad; he struck out four and walked only one. However, he did give up four extra-base hits, including a homer to Clint Barmes. David Phelps will try to capitalize on the misstep later this week.

Ivan Nova - S - Yankees

Ivan Nova pitched four scoreless innings Tuesday in the Yankees' 3-1 victory over the Rays.

Nova keeps answering each strong performance from David Phelps with one of his own. He has a 1.00 ERA and a 5/1 K/BB ratio in nine innings. We're not high on him as a fantasy starter, but he is doing enough to keep his spot on the Yankees.

Ivan Nova - S - Yankees

Ivan Nova pitched three innings of one-run ball Thursday against the Cardinals.

Nova allowed three hits, walked one and struck out two. As long as he doesn't get badly outpitched by David Phelps this spring, his rotation spot is likely safe. We're not expecting much from him for fantasy purposes.
