The Yankees have announced that Ivan Nova's turn in the rotation will be skipped due to the rain out on Thursday. Phil Hughes, who would have started the final game of their four game set, will still be making that start.
Ivan Nova will be available out of the bullpen as he will be given an extra five days until his next start.
One of the main reasons why they are skipping Nova is because they don't want to get the rotation out of their rhythm. They want Sabathia and Pettitte to pitch on five days rest and not seven.
As for Nova, he understood that he would be skipped, but he was a little disappointed.
"I really dislike that having to wait 10 days to pitch again, but i will keep my arm in good condition with some extra throws in the bullpen," Nova said. "It kind of sucks skipping this start because the team is on a roll here in Cleveland, and i really wanted to come out there and show what i can do."
Ivan Nova is 0-1 on the year with a 7.71 ERA.
