    <h4>Hughes two starts away from Yanks return</h4>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The next stop is Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday night, where he is set to throw 75 pitches. Phil Hughes probably will have one more minor-league start after that before rolling into Kei Igawa's spot in the Yankees' rotation. Hughes' fastball didn't have its usually pop (his first pitch was 91 mph), and he didn't get higher than 92 mph on his next 56 pitches (36 strikes), but his curve, slider and changeup were impressive. After his outing he went to the bullpen to throw 15 more pitches. The goal is to get Hughes' pitch count around 100. "I feel 100 percent," Hughes said. "It's just a matter of getting my pitch count up." -- NY Post</div></p>
