Now that Nova has moved to the bullpen, Tanaka might not be lined up to start the potential Wild Card game.
Yesterday, the Yankees announced that they were moving Ivan Nova from the rotation to the bullpen. Nova didn't join the team until the middle of the season after being activated from the disabled list following his Tommy John rehab. Throughout his career in the Yankees' rotation, Nova has had some good seasons and some bad seasons, and this is shaping up to be one of the bad ones. Since being activated in June, Nova has thrown 75.
