Andy Pettitte has declared that he will start for the Yankees against the Rangers on Wednesday.

"I feel good. We haven't even talked about me missing a start," Pettitte said.

Pettitte left Friday night's start with lower back discomfort that first surfaced May 25 during a workout.

"I am making my start. I feel better [yesterday] than [Sunday]," Pettitte said.
