After struggling to start the season, Phil Hughes looks to be back on track with his strong showing today. The Yankees were able to defeat the Athletics 4-2 after receiving an impressive start from Phil Hughes. Hughes came into this game 0-2 with a 4.67 ERA, but finished with a 1-2 record with a 3.60 ERA.

Hughes allowed no runs on four hits in eight innings of work. He struck out nine and walked two. He finished his outing with 118 pitches thrown, in which 82 of them were for strikes. Hughes was ahead of mostly every hitter and was also keeping them off balance.

The Yankee offense used the home run ball to their advantage today as Chris Stewart launched a solo shot in the second inning. Lyle Overbay would follow in the fifth inning with a solo shot of his own.

Brett Gardner and Travis Hafner both contributed offensively with RBI singles.

Shawn Kelley and Mariano Rivera pitched the ninth inning and they each allowed a run.

The Yankees and Athletics will play the final game of their three game set tomorrow afternoon.

Yankee Updates: Chamberlain, Robertson, Nelson

Brian ● Friday, May 3, 2013 0 comments

The Yankees have made some moves in the last couple of days that have affected their roster.

  • Joba Chamberlain has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a oblique strain. Chamberlain suffered the injury while warming up in the bullpen. Chamberlain will likely come off when he is elgibile as he has a history of recovering fast. 
  • David Robertson has some discomfort in his left knee and will be out all three games against the Athletics. 
  • The Yankees have acquired infielder Chris Nelson from the Rockies for cash or a player to be named later.
  • Preston Claiborne has been called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace Joba Chamberlain. 
  • Cody Eppley has been designated for assignment to make room for Claiborne on the 40-man roster.

The Yankees also noted that Curtis Granderson will be returning in the middle of May while Mark Teixeira aims at the end of May or early June.
