Mariano Rivera won't pitch for the Yankees until he's pain-free. Rivera has been bothered by a sore left groin recently. He played catch with pitcher Andy Pettitte on Wednesday afternoon. "I didn't do it to test [the groin]; I wanted to throw," Rivera told the New York Post. "I just played catch. Everything is beautiful." Yankees manager Joe Girardi didn't use Rivera in a save situation on Wednesday, or a close game on Thursday. "We will evaluate it [today]," said Girardi. "We will see how [Rivera] feels. If he is pain free . . . "
