PREGAME NOTES:

More bad news regarding Phil Hughes. According to Brian Cashman, Hughes has suffered a stress fracture in his ninth rib and will be shut down for quite awhile. He is expected to miss 6 to 8 weeks. Ugh.

As most of you know by now, Darrell Rasner has been recalled from Scranton to take Hughes' spot on the roster and will start on Sunday - also known as PA Day.

During their last six games, the Yankee offense has been downright horrific; scoring just 19 runs and hitting just .202 overall and .184 w/ RISP.

Ian Kennedy has never faced the Tigers.

Nate Robertson is a lifetime 1-5, 4.86 ERA in 7 starts against the Yanks, including 0-4, 4.11 ERA in his last 4 starts. He is a lifetime 0-3, 6.97 ERA in 4 starts at Yankee Stadium. Yanks career numbers vs. Robertson can be viewed here.
