PREGAME NOTES:
Chad Jennings reports that Chris Britton has indeed been recalled once again after spending 12 hours in Scranton. Chad Moeller is back with the club as Jscape noted earlier. It appears Jennings was wrong about the Yanks inability to use Moeller until next week.
To make room for Moeller on the 40-man roster, Sean Henn was activated from his rehab assignment and designated for assignment.
Who would've thought just weeks ago that Yankee fans would now breathe a sigh of relief after signing Chad Moeller? Boy, how things have changed in such a short time. And we're not quite through April yet.
Jeremy Bonderman is a lifetime 2-6, 5.58 ERA in 10 games (9 starts) against the Yanks, including 0-4, 6.66 ERA over his last 4 starts.
Andy Pettitte is a lifetime 10-8, 3.49 ERA in 22 starts against the Tigers, including an outstanding 5-1, 1.87 ERA in his last 6 starts.
