The New York Yankees recall Phil Hughes from AAA
The Yankees will let him start tomorrow against the Toronto Blue Jays. Hughes is the #1 prospect in the Yankees system but they might be rushing him because of their slow start. The plan was to let Hughes spend the entire season in AAA ball but things have changed due to the massive amounts of injuries in the Yanks rotation. Hughes started 3 games in AAA this season and he was 2-1 with a 3.94 ERA and a 0.94 WHIP. He has thrown 16 innings so far this season and he’s allowed only 11 hits while whiffing 17 batters. It will be interesting to see how Hughes handles the pressure of pitching in the majors.
