After tossing 96 pitches in an extended spring game at the Philadelphia's complex on Monday, Andy Pettitte said he is ready to make his return to the Yankees.
"I feel I'm strong enough and ready to make my next start with [the Yankees]," Pettitte said.
"I feel good and it was another solid day. I felt the quality of pitches were as good as I've had in any of my starts up to now, and I was able to hold my velocity throughout [the outing]. I feel like I'm ready to help the team."
Pettitte had been scheduled to make the sixth outing in his celebrated return with a start for Double-A Trenton against the Portland Sea Dogs.

A restaurant named for the late Yankees icon Mickey Mantle finds itself on the verge of eviction.
The restaurant's owners are going around asking former big-league ballplayers trying to raise money to pay its debts.
Mickey Mantle's Restaurant, which the player himself once owned a seven percent stake in and frequently patronized before his death, hasn't paid rent in four months and needs to raise "$1 million to get back on its feet."

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman secretly became a Bleacher Creature on Sunday afternoon.
Cashman, along with his son, Teddy, sat in the outfield stands and took part in the tradition of the roll call in the top of the first inning at Yankee Stadium.
On Sunday morning, Vinny Milano, who is known as "Bald Vinny," saw Cashman outside the Stadium. As he has done before, Milano asked Cashman to sit in the stands.
"He said, 'Why don't you come on out?'" Cashman said. "I said, 'You know what, maybe I will.' I've got my son. I've never experienced the roll call from the stands. I wanted my son to experience a big part of Yankee tradition now.
"So I said, 'I'll come out for the first inning, if I have time. If something doesn't come up.' So we were able to make it. We sat for the first defensive portion of the inning and then we left and we went back to the office."
To make his way to the bleachers, Cashman wore a disguise. With a spiked wig, a blue visor and sunglasses, Cashman walked through the crowd unnoticed.
Since the fans in the bleachers knew that Cashman was on his way, they recognized him and he took 30 to 50 pictures.
