TAMPA -- A bit too long of a break has been what's kept one of the Yankees' most intriguing -- and hardest-throwing - prospects off the mound this spring.
Right-hander Domingo Acevedo, who's touched 103 mph, said he hasn't pitched in a game yet because he's been building arm strength following a longer-than-usual rest this winter.
The rest was aimed at recovering from the biggest workload of his career and shoulder trouble.
"I feel good now," said the 6-foot-7 Dominican Republic native, who added that he expects to pitch against the Tigers on Tuesday at George M.
