Prized pitcher Joba Chamberlain will get his first career major league start! It will come on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. He is only scheduled to throw about 60-70 pitches so expect around 3-5 innings of work. Get excited caused the new era has arrived.

Member #2, Ian Kennedy, was placed on the disabled list with bursitis and a strained right lat. Now Darrell Rasner can stay with the Yanks even now that Joba is going to start.

Last, but not least, Phil Hughes will not be cleared to pitch for at least another week pushing his return date back considerably. Knowing how the Yankees will play it safe with him it he will be out until at least July possibly even longer.
