PREGAME NOTES:
- Yanks were 8-12 on the season without A-Rod in the starting lineup and averaged 4.1 runs per game. Obviously, not all is ice cream and puppy dogs with this team right now, but frankly, I feel like singing.
- Chris Britton has been sent packing to Scranton to make room for A-Rod on the roster.
- Daniel Cabrera is a lifetime 4-6, 4.81 ERA, 1.59 WHIP in 14 starts against the Yanks - including a victory at Camden Yards on April 18.
- Moose is a lifetime 10-6, 4.51 ERA, 1.26 WHIP in 23 starts against the Orioles, including 1-1, 6.75 ERA, 1.69 WHIP in 3 starts in 2007.
- Yankees' career numbers vs. Cabrera can be viewed here. Orioles career numbers vs. Moose can be viewed here.
- In minor league news, Chad Jennings reports that Dan McCutchen has been promoted to Scranton after posting excellent numbers for the Trenton Thunder.
