The Yankees reportedly believe that Lowe can be an effective stopgap pitching from pen. He is 8-10 this season with a 5.52 ERA.

Meanwhile, the hope is that Phelps is ready for a starting role. He has certainly thrived as a reliever. Phelps has a 2.42 ERA in 52 innings pitched this season, and has pitched 5 1/3 perfect innings since the All-Star Break.
