Yankees relievers Marte, Aceves not expected back
NEW YORK (AP) -Injured relievers Damaso Marte and Alfredo Aceves are not expected back in the New York Yankees' bullpen this season.
New York manager Joe Girardi said Wednesday he thinks both pitchers will miss the rest of the year. Marte has been sidelined since July 8 with inflammation in his left shoulder. Aceves has been out since May 12 with a strained lower back.
In other news, the Yankees will skip Phil Hughes' next turn in the rotation this weekend at Texas, part of their plan to limit the 24-year-old right-hander's innings in his first full season as a major league starter.
Dustin Moseley will pitch in Hughes' place Sunday against the AL West-leading Rangers. Girardi says Hughes will return to the rotation next Wednesday at Tampa Bay.
