"If the Yankees need bullpen help today against the Angels, it won't come from A.J. Burnett.

In preparation for a start Tuesday in Seattle, Burnett went through a full in-between start bullpen yesterday afternoon, so he isn't available for relief work today.

That means Phil Hughes could get the call.

Like most pitchers, Burnett isn't a big fan of working in a six-man rotation, which adds an extra day of rest in between starts. Nevertheless, he isn't about to rail against the setup manager Joe Girardi is using, and may use until the end of the regular season."
