As one Yankee star waits to hear how long he'll spend on the DL, another starts to work his way back from it.
The Yankees may be off today, but they have an ace on the mound nonetheless. Masahiro Tanaka started his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Scranton today at 6:35 ET. The plan was to have him pitch three innings or 45 pitches. If his rehab appearance is over by the time you read this, hopefully it went without incident, as certainly the Yankees could use Tanaka back in the rotation.
