David Aardsma Shut Down with Pain in Right Elbow

David Aardsma was shut down on Friday after he felt pain in his surgically repaired right elbow.

Aardsma has been rehabbing from Tommy John Surgery and was hoping to return to the big leagues in July. With this setback, July is very unlikely as he will have to start his rehab process over again.

David Aardsma has allowed one unearned run in five minor league rehab innings earlier this month. The Yankees still expect Aardsma back this season, but instead of July they are hoping around August.

Derek Jeter now needs 58 hits to tie Nap Lajoie for 12th place on the All-Time hits list.

Yankee players Alex Rodriguez, Freddy Garcia, Andruw Jones, Ivan Nova, Rafael Soriano, Cory Wade, and DeWayne Wise will all attend.

Adam Warren: What To Expect

Adam Warren, 24, will make his Major League Debut tonight against the Chicago White Sox in New York. Adam was born in New Bern, North Carolina on August 25th, 1987. Warren is listed at 6'1" and weighs 200 pounds. He was drafted in the 36th round of the 2008 draft by the Cleveland Indians, but did not sign. He was later drafted again in the 4th round of the 2009 draft. 

Warren throws two types of fastball. He can throw a two-seamer and a four-seamer. His two-seamer clocks around 90-92 miles per hour. His fastball can get up there from 93-96 and you will most likely see his fastball in the mid 90's. He has great command of his fastball and it will be interesting to see if he will be able to blow it by hitters. His pinpoint control is what really sets his fastball apart from others.

He can also uses a mix of sliders, changeups, and curveballs to get hitters off balance. His curveball could be one of his best pitches. He has been developing it for years and he should be able to use it for his advantage. His changeup is also really good. He can locate it great, but it doesn't really have a lot of break to it.

At Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre, Warren has gone 5-5 with a 3.86 ERA over 15 starts. He had a 6.15 strikeouts per 9 innings.

Adam Warren looks to help the Yankees out due to their recent losses of C.C. Sabathia and Andy Pettitte.
