Yankees.com: Yankees likely to tender contract to Nova

The Yankees believe that Ivan Nova is primed to enjoy a bounceback season as he regains his command following Tommy John surgery, and general manager Brian Cashman has said that he plans to tender the right-hander a contract for 2016.

Clubs must tender contracts to their arbitration-eligible players by 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday, and though Nova was disappointed by his performance in 17 starts after coming back from surgery, the Yankees expect his numbers to improve.
