Hughes Has Nothing

The Yankees were hoping Phil Hughes would be ready for a rehab start shortly, but MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reported a short time ago that a bullpen session did not go as planned.

Hughes stopped throwing after just 20 pitches and sounded despondent afterwards. “It’s just the same as before,” Hughes said. “It’s dead, nothing coming out. I didn’t bounce back from that long bullpen session like I would have liked. It’s just a lot of deadness.”

Manager Joe Girardi admitted to being concerned. For now Hughes is headed to see the Yankees' team physician.

Fer Sore Dude

You may have noticed that Alex Rodriguez is scheduled to be the DH in today's lineup. That's because the reigning AL MVP has a sore right shoulder that bothers him when he throws.

A-Rod had a heat pack strapped on the shoulder before going through pre-game warm ups. Probably nothing to worry about; a little spring training tendonitis is not unusual.
