Ivan Nova - S - Yankees

Ivan Nova kept his road winning streak alive by allowing three runs over seven innings Friday in a victory over the A's.

Nova has now won nine in a row on the road. Tonight's effort was just his fourth quality start in nine tries this season. He gave up homers to Kila Ka'aihue and Josh Reddick in the outing, bringing his season total to 12 allowed.

Mark Teixeira - 1B - Yankees

Mark Teixeira went 2-for-5 and hit his sixth homer Friday versus the A's.

Teixeira, who has been bouncing around the lineup lately, found himself in the fifth spot tonight. The homer got his OPS back up to .700 for the first time in four weeks.

Manny Banuelos - S - Yankees

Yankees manager Joe Girardi confirmed that Yankees pitching prospect Manny Banuelos' left elbow showed no structural damage.

"His ligament checked out fine,'' Girardi said. ''He’s just got some soreness." While it's good news, it's not clear when he'll resume throwing. Banuelos, 21, has a 4.50 ERA and 22/10 K/BB ratio in 24 innings over his first six starts with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.

Manny Banuelos - S - Yankees

An MRI on Yankees pitching prospect Manny Banuelos' left elbow showed no structural damage.

It's good news, as there was some concern that he had a serious injury. Banuelos, who holds a 4.50 ERA with 22 strikeouts over 24 innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, will be shut down indefinitely.

John Maine - S - Yankees

Yankees signed RHP John Maine to a minor league contract.

Evan Drellich of MLB.com reported earlier Friday that a deal was close, and it's now been finalized. Maine, who hasn't appeared in the majors since 2010, will provide rotation insurance at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

John Maine - S - Yankees

Evan Drellich of MLB.com reports that the Yankees will sign John Maine to a minor league contract.

The veteran right-hander was released by the Red Sox earlier this month before making it out of extended spring training, but he's since worked out for the Yankees, who evidently liked what they saw. He'll probably join the rotation at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Ivan Nova - S - Yankees

Ivan Nova is nursing a minor hamstring problem but will make his scheduled start Friday.

It's apparently no big deal, but Nova doesn't need any encumbrances as he tries to snap out of the funk he's been in. Nova struck out a career-high 12 batters in his last start and has really increased his strikeout rate this season, but he's also posted a 5.69 ERA over his first eight starts. He'll try to bounce back against the A's Friday.

Brett Gardner - OF - Yankees

Brett Gardner (elbow) has had another setback and will not be allowed to hit off tee until Monday.

The Yankees were hoping that Gardner would be able to pick up a bat Thursday, but manager Joe Girardi said the outfielder still has some stiffness in his right elbow. It doesn't sound like a major setback, but it's the second one Gardner has experienced. His return doesn't appear to be on the horizon.

Andy Pettitte - S - Yankees

Andy Pettitte breezed by the Royals in Wednesday's 8-3 win, allowing just two runs on seven hits in seven innings of work.

Pettitte struck out seven and walked just one in improving to 2-1 in three starts since rejoining the Yankees rotation. He's gone at least 6 1/3 innings every time out, and owns a 2.53 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 19/5 K/BB ratio through 21 1/3 innings. It appears his comeback is going to work out just fine. He'll get the Angels in Anaheim on Tuesday.
May 23 - 10:23 PM
Alex Rodriguez - 3B - Yankees

Alex Rodriguez belted a pair of home runs in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Royals.

A-Rod tagged Royals starter Will Smith (yes, Will Smith) for a two-run bomb in the first before getting him for a solo shot in the third. The multi-homer night was Rodriguez's first of the season, while the longballs were just his second and third since April 27. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come for the Yankees' .281/.372/.444 hitting third baseman.
May 23 - 10:16 PM
David Robertson - R - Yankees

David Robertson (oblique) will begin his rehab work Thursday in Florida.

Robertson is eligible to return from the disabled list Sunday, but that won't happen. It's possible he could be ready for the June 1-3 series at Detroit. Yankees manager Joe Girardi won't say whether Rafael Soriano or Robertson will close when the latter returns. "Here's my prayer: Let's just get Robby back," Girardi said. "Let's just get him back to where he's comfortable and get him in a game before we start making official decisions."

Brett Gardner - OF - Yankees

Brett Gardner (elbow) is expected to resume his rehab work Thursday in Florida.

That's assuming the MRI planned for Gardner's injured right elbow comes back clean. Throwing isn't an issue for Gardner, but he experienced a setback earlier this month at the plate. If all goes well, he could possibly be back in early June.

Austin Romine - C - Yankees

Austin Romine (back) is out until at least July.

Romine has been on the disabled list since the end of spring training with a lower back strain and is still battling through inflammation. The 23-year-old will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre once he's healthy.

Mark Teixeira - 1B - Yankees

Mark Teixeira is batting third Wednesday against the Royals.

Teixeira batted seventh in the Yankees' previous three games. This is his first game out of the No. 3 spot since May 4. The 32-year-old has struggled to get going this season, batting just .229/.281/.386 with five homers and a .667 OPS through 167 plate appearances. Alex Rodriguez will stay in his familiar cleanup spot Wednesday while Robinson Cano bats fifth.

Robinson Cano - 2B - Yankees

Robinson Cano hit his fifth home run of the season Tuesday, leading the Yankees to a 3-2 win over the Royals.

He finished the night 1-for-3 with a walk. After a slow start to the season, Cano now has his average up to .304 to go along with his five homers and 17 RBI. He remains one of the best pure hitters in the league and should have no problem finishing the season as a top-five fantasy second baseman.
