Torre Hints That Clemens Will Start Game Three
Sep 16, 2014 4:07 PM
The Yankees got "a very good report" on Roger Clemens after the Rocket threw 69 pitches in a simulated game yesterday at the team's minor-league complex in Tampa, Joe Torre said, and the Bomber believes he'll start Game 3 against the Indians.
The Yankees won't be any more definitive until they see how Clemens' injured left hamstring responds to yesterday's outing. "He's Game 3 right now," Torre said. "Of course, we'll see how he feels (today). We'll see him in Cleveland."
If Clemens is unable to pitch, the Yankees likely will move up Game 4 starter Mike Mussina and slide Phil Hughes into Mussina's spot.
