Mon Jul 1 2013 | 23:47 | Andy Pettitte becomes Yankees' K leader |
Andy Pettitte became the Yankees' all-time leader in strikeouts while surrendering four runs in five innings against the Twins on Monday. |
If not for the record, it would have been a pretty forgettable night for Pettitte. He allowed six hits, walked four and struck out just two. Still, that was enough to move him past Whitey Ford for the Yankees lead at 1,958. Pettitte has 2,386 strikeouts overall, making him MLB's active leader over CC Sabathia (2,311). |

Thu Jun 20 2013 | 23:06 | Andy Pettitte gives up five runs in loss |
Andy Pettitte surrendered five runs in 6 2/3 innings to take a loss to the Rays on Thursday. |
Pettitte typically does his best work with men on, but it didn't happen tonight, as he gave up four runs in four of his seven innings of work. He's turned in just one quality start in four tries since coming off the DL, that coming against lowly Seattle. He's a spot starter at best in shallow mixed leagues right now. |

Sat Jun 15 2013 | 01:29 | Andy Pettitte takes loss to Angels |
Andy Pettitte was charged with four runs in seven innings Friday in a loss to the Angels. |
The fourth run came after David Adams let a routine popup drop behind second base, giving Peter Bourjos a rather ridiculous single (Adams didn't touch the ball, so apparently that's not an error). It cost Pettitte a quality start tonight, and it pushed his hit total up to 11, which is the most he'd allowed in four years. |

Sat Jun 8 2013 | 19:10 | Yankees beat M's as Pettitte earns 250th win |
Andy Pettitte limited the Mariners to one run over 7 1/3 innings Saturday in the Yankees' 3-1 win. |
Pettitte struck out six Seattle batters, issued no walks and surrendered only three hits to earn his 250th career victory. The veteran southpaw is 5-3 on the season with a 3.82 ERA and 1.26 WHIP, and should remain a steady fantasy option throughout the summer. He will take on the Angels in his next scheduled start. |

Mon Jun 3 2013 | 23:11 | Andy Pettitte gets lifted in fifth inning |
Andy Pettitte pitched 4 2/3 innings and allowed four runs against the Indians in his return from the disabled list Monday. |
Pettitte had just one-two-three inning, that coming in the fourth. He entered the fifth with a 4-1 lead, but he gave up two hits, two walks and then a ground-rule double that knocked him from the game. This was essentially a rehab start for Pettitte, since the Yankees opted to bring him back without having him pitch in the minors. They won tonight anyway, so it worked out fine. |

Andy Pettitte (trapezius) threw a successful bullpen session Saturday. |

Fri May 24 2013 | 17:00 | Pettitte (trapezius) to throw bullpen Sat. |
Andy Pettitte (trapezius) played catch Thursday and Friday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday. |
Pettitte was placed on the disabled list last week with a strained trapezius muscle, but he's currently throwing without any discomfort. The veteran left-hander expects to throw a simulated game rather than go out on a minor league rehab assignment. Either way, he should return around when he's first eligible on June 1. |

Wed May 22 2013 | 18:15 | Pettitte to resume throwing Thursday or Fri. |
Andy Pettitte (trapezius) will play catch either Thursday or Friday. |
It will be the first time he's thrown since landing on the DL last week with a strained trapezius muscle. "Then we'll do some long toss, a bullpen and hopefully work it up to a simulated game," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Pettitte is expected back on June 1, the first day he's eligible, or shortly after that. |

Fri May 17 2013 | 17:57 | Pettitte to DL with strained trapezius muscle |
Yankees placed LHP Andy Pettitte on the 15-day disabled list with a strained trapezius muscle. |
Pettitte suffered the injury during Thursday's start against the Mariners. It's believed to be minor, but the Yankees don't want to take any chances with the 40-year-old southpaw. Vidal Nuno is slated to replace him on the active roster and will likely get a start or two. |

Fri May 17 2013 | 16:01 | Pettitte will go on DL if he misses start |
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Andy Pettitte (shoulder) will likely be placed on the disabled list if he needs to miss a start. |
The good news is that there's a chance he might not have to miss a turn after exiting Thursday's outing with a tight left trapezius muscle. Pettitte obviously dodged a serious injury bullet, but the Yanks could still play it cautiously and put him on the shelf for a couple weeks. |

Thu May 16 2013 | 22:46 | Yanks not too concerned about Pettitte injury |
The Yankees indicated after Thursday's game that they're not too concerned about Andy Pettitte's tight left trapezius muscle. |
It's good to hear, though it remains unclear whether he'll be able to make his next start. It appears that the Yankees will not sent Pettitte for an MRI. More details about his status should be available on Friday. |

Thu May 16 2013 | 21:55 | Andy Pettitte exits with trapezius tightness |
Andy Pettitte left Thursday's start against the Mariners with a tight left trapezius muscle. |
The trapezius is located in the upper back/neck area. It's not clear at this point how severe the ailment is, but it seems likely that Pettitte will have to miss at least one start. Ivan Nova (triceps, side) would be an option to replace him in the rotation. |

Andy Pettitte left Thursday's start against the Mariners in the fifth inning with an apparent injury. |
Pettitte whiffed the first two batters of the fifth before Yankees manager Joe Girardi came to get the left-hander. He dealt with back spasms last month, but it's unclear if that's the issue this time. The club will provide an update on his status soon. |

Sat May 11 2013 | 21:54 | Pettitte pitches seven strong innings in win |
Andy Pettitte delivered seven strong innings in Saturday's victory over the Royals, surrendering just two runs. |
Pettitte fanned seven on the night while issuing only one free pass and allowing only five total hits. He yielded a run in the third inning on an RBI groundout off the bat of Lorenzo Cain, then Billy Butler tagged him for a solo shot in the fourth, but that was the extent of the damage. It was a nice bounceback effort from the veteran lefty, who was hit hard in his previous two starts. He'll carry a 4-2 record, 3.83 ERA and 1.28 WHIP into Thursday's home matchup against the Mariners. |

Sun May 5 2013 | 16:57 | Andy Pettitte struggles again Sunday |
Andy Pettitte struggled for the second straight start Sunday, allowing four runs -- three earned -- on four hits and four walks over five frames in a loss to the Athletics. |
Pettitte struck out just two, which is the same number of home runs he allowed. He needed 100 pitches to get through the five frames, and his four free passes represented more than half of his second total coming into the game. Pettitte's ERA has gone from 2.22 to 4.06 after a pair of clunkers. He'll try to rebound next weekend in Kansas City. |
