PREGAME NOTES:
- The Yanks are 17-9 since A-Rod's return from the DL on May 20 and he is on a roll hitting .366 / .470 / .710 with 8 HR, 8 doubles, and 26 RBI during that span.
- With Dan Giese now in the Yankee rotation for the time being, the club has called in reinforcements by promoting Mark Melancon David Robertson J.B. Cox Billy Traber from Scranton to take Chien-Ming Wang's vacated roster spot. Hoo-ray!
- Randy Wolf is a lifetime 0-0, 4.50 ERA, 0.83 WHIP in one start against the Yanks.
- Andy Pettitte is a lifetime 3-1, 2.74 ERA, 1.04 WHIP in 4 starts against the Padres.
- Padres' hitters vs. Pettitte can be viewed here. Yanks' hitters vs. Wolf can be viewed here.
- Good news on J.B. Cox - one of a handful of internal options for the Yanks' pen later this season. Chad Jennings reports that he began throwing again on Monday and it appears his return to the Scranton pen is not far away.
