Description: Yankees right-hander David Phelps struck out nine batters in 5 1/3 innings Wednesday against the Orioles. | Insight: With Phil Hughes (back) starting the season on the DL, Phelps will make at least one start in April but he will probably go back to the bullpen when Hughes returns to action. He'll be the first man called upon in the case of an injury or if Ivan Nova struggles. | | |

Description: Yankees right-hander David Phelps will start in place of Ivan Nova Tuesday against Boston. | Insight: Phelps is 2-2 with a 3.81 ERA in 10 starts this season, striking out an impressive 50 batters in 52 innings as a starter. The Red Sox are ready for the season to end so Phelps could turn in a nice line in a spot-start. | | |

Description: Yankees rookie pitcher David Phelps struck out a career-high eight batters in his third career start Wednesday at Tampa Bay. However, Phelps was yanked after 4 1/3 innings of one-run, two-hit ball. | Insight: The Yankees have been hesitant to extend Phelps. The right-hander was pulled after 81 pitches Wednesday. The short leash will prevent Phelps from having anything more than marginal fantasy value. | | |
