A.J. Burnett will pitch for the Yankees in Game 4 of the ALCS against the Rangers on Tuesday night.
New York manager Joe Girardi said Burnett will make the start no matter what the result of Monday night's Game 3.
"We set up our rotation for a number of reasons," Girardi said.
"We're just staying with it. Phil Hughes has never thrown on short rest. We have Andy Pettitte, who is coming off an injury. There's a lot of things that go into making up your rotation. We believe in A.J. I know it's been a tough year for him at times this year, but we believe in A.J."
CC Sabathia, who started Game 1, had said that he would be ready to pitch in Game 4 if asked.
