The Yankees have announced that, as expected, CC Sabathia will pitch on short rest in Game 4 against the Phillies.
Game 4 of the World Series will be Sunday night in Philadelphia.
"CC has pitched extremely well for us this year," Girardi said before Game 3. "We wanted to see how he came out today, how physically he came out today, and he physically feels good."
Girardi added that A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte could pitch on short rest in Games 4 and 5.
"There is no baseball after the World Series for four or five months, so there will be plenty of time to rest," Girardi said. "A.J. was pretty good on short rest last year, if you look up his numbers. He actually shut us down on short rest last year. And they physically feel good."

Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels will start against Yankees lefty Andy Pettitte in Saturday night's Game 3 of the World Series.
Hamels, 25, looked up to Pettitte, 37, as a kid.
"Andy Pettitte and Tom Glavine, those were the guys I emulated growing up when I was a little kid," Hamels told Yahoo! Sports. "They were always in the playoffs. I always got to watch them. They always pitched big games and they won.
"Pettitte has been very effective for a long time, and he's always the kind of guy I've looked at and hoped to be one day in his shoes. Now I'm here and I'm going to be able to face him in the World Series and he's on the Yankees again. So it's just kind of a big game."
