Andy Pettitte Encounters Minor Setback

Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte has suffered a minor setback in his recovery from his fractured left ankle. Pettitte suffered the injury after being hit with a line drive that hit his left ankle on June 27th.

Pettitte said that he did "a little too much in Seattle" and that his ankle hasn't healed up as much as the doctors had hoped.

"He pushed himself too far, so we will back off," Brian Cashman said.

Brian Cashman also stated that they still expect Pettitte back in September.

The Yankees will look to Pettitte to provide a solid number three or four starter once the postseason comes along.
