NEW YORK (AP)—The New York Yankees recalled right-handers Phil Hughes and David Robertson on Saturday, and Hughes could get the start Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox.
Hughes was expected to be a key member of New York’s rotation this season, but was 0-4 with a 9.00 ERA in six starts before he was sidelined with a stress fracture in one of his ribs. He struck out 12 over five innings Friday night to help Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre beat Durham 20-2, clinching the International League championship.
“His season has been somewhat different because of the injury,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said before New York’s day-night doubleheader against the Tampa Bay Rays. “He hasn’t necessarily thrown a lot of innings so we thought it was important for him to continue to pitch. There are plans for him to continue to pitch, possibly in the Fall League as well.”
Sidney Ponson, who was pushed back to Saturday’s nightcap after Friday’s rainout, also could start Wednesday’s game against the White Sox, but Hughes would be on regular rest.

“We’re going to have to talk about what we do in that situation, but obviously he’s one of the names if we decide not to bring Sidney back early that we would kick around,” Girardi said.

At this point, i think we should just let the young guys play and hopefully develop.
