According to Kim Jones, Rob Thomson will remain the interim skipper for today's game while Joe Girardi recovers from his illness.
Still no official word yet on the anticipated roster move, but Jonathon Albaladejo is expected to be sent down to Scranton to make room for Andy Pettitte. Update: Pete Abe confirms Albaladejo getting the boot.
Pettitte has owned the Rays throughout this career (13-2, 3.53 ERA in 21 games), but he was knocked around a bit in 2007 (2-1, 5.35 ERA in 4 starts).
Edwin Jackson is a career 1-1, 5.56 ERA in 7 games against the Yankees.

Finally, we may want to file this under "Maybe Joe Torre did know what he was doing with Farnsworth?":
"Kyle Farnsworth had gone 79 appearances without inheriting a runner before Friday night, when he inherited two and immediately gave up a three-run homer."
