Yankees left-hander J.A. Happ made a triumphant return to the mound Thursday night. At the end of July, New York had announced the southpaw contracted a mild case of hand, foot and mouth disease that forced him to the disabled list.
In his first appearance back, Happ notched a quality start by surrendering just three runs on four hits and a walk and tallied nine strikeouts across six innings to earn a win against the Rangers.
It marked Happ's second Yankees start since arriving via trade from the Blue Jays, but that doesn't mean he can go completely unnoticed in New York.
