New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte will not play for Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic, his agent, Jim Murray, confirmed. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman previously told MLB.com that Pettitte wouldn't participate. The 40-year-old left-hander had shown interest in pitching for Team USA and former Yankees manager Joe Torre, but Torre said last week that the Yankees had expressed reservations due to Pettitte's injury history, including a broken ankle suffered in June. He was out until September, finishing with a 5-4 record and 2.87 ERA.
