| Player Notes |
| August 15, 2007 The Yankees optioned Jeff Karstens to the minors on Wednesday. In five appearances (three starts) with the Yanks this year, he has an ERA of 11.19. |
| August 14, 2007 The Yankees will start Jeff Karstens Tuesday night against the Orioles, according to the New York Times. It will be his first start since breaking his right fibula on April 28. Karstens gets the start because Roger Clemens had his turn in the rotation pushed back a day due to suspension. |
| August 12, 2007 Jeff Karstens is the leading candidate to get a spot start Tuesday this week. The Yanks need someone to fill in for Roger Clemens, who is serving a suspension. |
| August 1, 2007 The Yankees activated Jeff Karstens from the DL Wednesday. He's been out since April 28 with a fractured fibula, according to SportsTicker. Karstens will pitch out of the bullpen. |
| July 28, 2007 Jeff Karstens tossed six shutout innings during his fifth rehab start on Friday. Recovering from a broken fibula, Karstens should rejoin the Yankees this coming week. |
| July 18, 2007 Jeff Karstens pitched five innings Tuesday night in a rehab start for Double-A Trenton, allowing four hits and one earned run, the AP reports. Karstens was making his third rehab start as he recovers from a broken bone in his left leg suffered April 28. |
| June 30, 2007 Jeff Karstens threw two innings of batting practice on Friday, according to the New York Daily News. Recovering from a broken leg, Karstens could get into rehab games soon. He likely won't come off the DL until at least mid July, though. |
| April 30, 2007 Jeff Karstens is expected to miss 6-8 weeks with his broken fibula, Joe Torre said Sunday. Kei Igawa heads back to the New York rotation with Karstens out. |
| April 29, 2007 After being hit by a line drive yesterday, Jeff Karstens stayed in the game for five more pitches. It'll be the last five he throws for a while, as he was diagnosed with a broken leg. The Yankees placed him on the disabled list, and he likely will miss a considerable amount of time, though he's expected to return later this season. "I thought I could get through it," Karstens said. "Now that I found out that it was cracked, that probably wouldn't have been the best idea." |
| April 28, 2007 Jeff Karstens had to be removed from Saturdays start after being hit on the knee with a line drive on his first pitch of the game, reports the AP. He tried to stay in the game, but lasted just six pitches and was removed after allowing both of the first two batters to reach base. |
| April 17, 2007 Jeff Karstens, out with right elbow tendinitis, pitched four innings for Class-A Tampa on Monday night, allowing no runs and three hits, according to Newsday. He could return to start on Saturday against Boston. |
| April 16, 2007 If all goes well, Jeff Karstens could return to action on Saturday, according to the New York Daily News. He'll test out his stiff elbow in a rehab game first, though. |
| April 13, 2007 Jeff Karstens, on the disabled list with a stiff elbow, is slated to pitch for Class-A Tampa on Monday, according to the AP. He played catch and took part in fielding drills on Friday at the Yankees' spring training complex. |
| April 1, 2007 The Yankees placed Jeff Karstens on the DL Sunday with a stiff elbow, according to the AP. Karstens, who was expected to start the year as the team's No. 5 starter, will have a bullpen session Monday. |
| March 31, 2007 Jeff Karstens, dealing with right elbow stiffness, threw off a half-mound on Saturday, according to the AP. He will remain in Florida to continue his rehab. |
| March 30, 2007 Jeff Karstens will likely be placed on the disabled list retroactive to Sunday, the Yankees official site reports. He's dealing with stiffness in his right elbow. |
| March 26, 2007 A CT scan and MRI on Jeff Karstens came back normal today, so there's a chance he'll avoid a trip to the disabled list, according to the AP. He left Sunday's game with stiffness in his right elbow and will remain shut down for at least a couple of days. "We'll have to wait and see how it goes the next few days," GM Brian Cashman said. |
| March 26, 2007 Jeff Karstens left yesterday's start after two innings due to stiffness in his right elbow, according to the New York Daily News. Karstens, who was the front-runner for the fifth starter job, will be examined further today. "You have to be concerned until you find out," manager Joe Torre said. "It's going to have him down for a time, which is going to muddy the waters as far as what we're going to do. The most important thing is to find out what it is." |
| March 24, 2007 Jeff Karstens will compete with Darrell Rasner to fill the vacancy in the Yankees rotation left by the injury Chien-Ming Wang, according to the AP. Karstens has been outstanding this spring, holding a 2.70 ERA while striking out 11 and walking none in 13 1/3 innings. |
| March 20, 2007 Jeff Karstens allowed four runs in 4 1/3 innings on Monday, but he still holds a 2.70 ERA this spring, and he has an outside shot of winning a rotation spot, according to Newsday. "He's been damn near perfect, so I don't think he could hold that up if you try to compare," manager Joe Torre said. "He was not as good as his last outing, but he was fine. I thought he was fine." |
| March 10, 2007 Jeff Karstens tossed three scoreless innings last night and hasn't given up a run in a total of five spring innings, according to the New York Daily News. "He's quietly pitching pretty well, huh?" said manager Joe Torre. "He's been very impressive" If Carl Pavano isn't ready for the start of the season, Karstens could get a shot at the fifth spot in the rotation. |
