<p>The Yankees are going with the same lineup, with the only change being <span>Alex Rodriguez</span> at third base and <span>Eric Chavez</span> as the DH.

<p>The bad news might be getting worse for <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.amazinavenue.com/">Mets</a> pitcher <span>Mike Pelfrey</span>.</p>
<p>NJ.com is reporting that <a href="http://www.nj.com/mets/index.ssf/2012/04/mets_await_second_opinion_on_m.html" target="_blank">an MRI revealed a partially-torn ulnar collateral ligament</a>, per a source, and that the results were sent to notable surgeon Dr. James Andrews in Alabama. The Mets have only said Pelfrey is dealing with joint swelling and Pelrey told reporters Tuesday that his arm felt great. He was placed on the 15-day DL for the first time in his career on Tuesday.</p>
<p>If Pelfrey does have a badly-torn UCL, it could require Tommy John surgery, but the hope is that the swelling will go down and he can avoid surgery. Tommy John surgery would sideline Pelfrey for more than a year. </p>
<p>Pelrey has been a bright spot early in the season for the Mets. He has given up five earned runs on 24 hits over 19 2/3 innings. The Mets were 2-1 in his starts, although he didn't record a decision.</p>

<p>We may now know why <span>Michael Pineda's</span> velocity was down in spring training. The New York <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.pinstripealley.com/">Yankees</a> announced Wednesday that Pineda has a torn labrum. He will have surgery on Tuesday and is out for the year.</p>

<p>pineda has a torn labrum. surgery tuesday</p>

<p>pineda said to have felt a "sharp pain'' saturday. injury may have occurred then. but he didnt throw well from start of camp</p>

<p>The 23-year-old Pineda had been placed on the DL at the end of March with shoulder tendinitis. His velocity was down in Spring Training, but said his health was fine until toward the end of camp. He normally throws as high as 97 mph, but was barely cracking the 90s in camp.</p>
<p>The Yankees have relied on 37-year-old <span>Hiroki Kuroda</span> and 35-year-old <span>Freddy Garcia</span> in the rotation since with Pineda's absence, and the two will be even more important now as Pineda is done for the year, unless the Yankees try to make a move.</p>
