Phil Hughes to be activated from disabled list

Phil Hughes will be activated from the 15-day disabled list on Saturday, General Manager Brian Cashman confirmed. Hughes, who has been sidelined with a bulging disk in his back, will make his season debut against the Tigers.

Hughes was scheduled to make his final rehabilitation start for Triple-A Scranton/Wikes-Barre, but with the Yankees recent struggles with their starting pitchers, he will be given the ball for the big league club.

Hughes did not make a spring training start for the Yankees, however, he pitched in many minor league games.

David Phelps was scheduled to start on Saturday, but he has been slotted into the long relief role.
