Yankees manager Joe Girardi says that Javier Vazquez is expected to start Thursday against the Twins.

Vazquez bruised his right index finger against the Mets on Friday and is expected to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday.

"It is not TBA," said Girardi on Vazquez's status. "He is scheduled to make the start."
