    If New York Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes comes through his bullpen session fine on Saturday, he thinks he could then be shipped out to the minors for his first rehab start in search of his missing fastball.

    "It sounds like, if everything goes well [on Saturday], I will be able to make a rehab start," said Hughes.
