Ivan Nova's last outing was April 26, when he allowed two runs in two innings against the Blue Jays.

Injured New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira could soon start playing in minor league games while pitcher Andy Pettitte is also working his way back to the majors.

When the New York Yankees called up their 35th and 36th players of the season this week, much was made of how the Yankees have not just survived but have thrived during this onslaught of injuries in the first quarter of the season.

Nevertheless, when that time arrives isn't known to the Yankees manager, who has been juggling four players into three spots since Curtis Granderson came off the disabled list.

In a season where seemingly every bump and bruise suffered sends the player to the disabled list, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he is supremely confident Hiroki Kuroda won't be sidelined by the bruised right calf that forced him out of last night's game.

The Smoke & Mirrors Tour that has produced baseball's biggest surprise sailed into the Inner Harbor last night and met its match.

Uh-oh. More bad news could potentially await the New York Yankees . Hiroki Kuroda left Wednesday night's game against the Baltimore Orioles with a bruised right calf.

On Friday morning, Yankees manager Andy Girardi intends to visit his well-stocked roster of starters on the mend at the team's complex in Tampa, Fla.

Though the Orioles started out on the right foot, they've lost 3 of their last 10 games [5 in a row], putting them four games back in the AL East.

The New York Yankees were looking to make it seven straight wins against the Toronto Blue Jays, but their series finale was rained out Sunday afternoon.

This was supposed to be the year when it all fell apart. When the 18 year Yankee dynasty of five world series rings, 13 division titles, three wild cards and a staggering league high 1,731 wins would all come crashing down with the force of the same 97 MPH cutter that brought them there.

Even though the New York Yankees' homestand was abbreviated because of Sunday's postponement, the Bronx Bombers were still able to go 3-2, including a two game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays.

When Molina hit his second double of the game, he pulled into second base without sliding and still managed to avoid the tag.
