Andy Pettitte was scheduled to pitch tomorrow against the Blue Jays, however, due to “shoulder fatigue,” Chad Gaudin will get the start in his place. Joe Girardi noted that Pettitte’s shoulder issue wasn’t considered serious and that extra rest would likely correct the situation. The Yankees are probably just being cautious with Pettitte since they’re nearing the postseason, but, Pettitte dealt with “shoulder fatigue” last season, in the second half, and it really hurt his numbers. Hopefully, this year’s “fatigue” isn’t as bad.

This is the only concern with Pettitte this year and going forward, can he stay healthy? He has always been a guy who has been a little injury prone but he just fights through it as much as possible (even though that sometimes hurts the team) lets just hope he is OK structurally and he comes back after one start.
