With Randy Johnson not starting Game 4 or 5 of the Division Series, he could be a candidate for relief duty.
"I think whenever Randy feels physically able to do it, he'll jump in there," Joe Torre told the New York Post Saturday. "He's done this before where he has volunteered for bullpen work. But when you're up against it like we are right now, we certainly look for a show of hands and we'll take whatever help we can get.
"Obviously, there's more to Randy Johnson than what he can give us out of the bullpen. The health issue is the first thing, and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with him, but we wouldn't jeopardize doing something that would hurt him. So that's the first thing, and after that, we certainly would pull out all of the stops to win the game [tonight]."
Another Yankees starter, Chien-Ming Wang, could be available in relief today. According to Stottlemyre, Wang, who pitched Game 2 on Wednesday, could be in the pen tonight, the paper reported.
