After throwing 55 pitches in a simulated game Wednesday, Andy Pettitte, who has missed 2 1/2 months with a fractured ankle, said he?s ready to start for the Yankees next week.
?I did everything I needed to do. I felt good. It?s another step,? he said. ?They felt like my stuff was great. I just don?t know what the next step is, hopefully I?ll get back in the rotation. That?s what I want to do.?
If it were June instead of September, the next step would be two or three minor league rehab starts. That?s not a possibility now, though. Odds are that he?ll rejoin the rotation next week and throw 60-70 pitches in his first start, with David Phelps ready to replace him come the fourth or fifth inning.
?He means a lot to this club. We?ve seen that. We saw that a lot the first time,? manager Joe Girardi said. ?We went on quite a roll. If they deem he?s ready to move around like he has to, he?ll be out there.?
