PREGAME NOTES:
-
Pete Abe reports that Ian Kennedy is scheduled to start a rehab game on Monday for the Gulf Coast Yankees and will be limited to 50 pitches. He also notes that Phil Hughes will start playing catch on Wednesday, so his return is likely 6 weeks away.
The Reds make their first appearance at Yankee Stadium since the 'Big Red Machine' invaded the Bronx and swept the Yanks in the 1976 World Series. - Jorge Posada is out of the lineup tonight because Moose is comfortable with Molina behind the plate and tomorrow is a day game. Posada is expected to be behind the plate tomorrow and Sun.
- Edinson Volquez has never faced the Yanks. He is 4-1, 1.50 ERA, 1.05 WHIP in 7 starts on the road this season.
Mike Mussina is a lifetime 0-1, 10.13 ERA, 1.69 WHIP in one start against the Reds. He is 9-1, 3.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP over his last 11 starts and has just 8 walks over a span of 61 IP.
