The Yankees, still in need of pitching help, have picked up their pursuit of free agent Justin Duchscherer, according to a source. Duchscherer, 33, has a career record of 33-25 with a 3.13 ERA in eight seasons with the Athletics and Rangers. He has thrown only 28 innings over the past two seasons because of a variety of injuries. It is not yet known if New York views Duchscherer as a starter or reliever.
