| March 5, 2008 Ian Kennedy started and went two innings for the Yankees on Wednesday as he allowed two hits and one run against the Twins. Kennedy is trying to solidify his spot in the starting rotation with a big spring, so a couple more outings along this line should do the trick. |
| January 6, 2008 Ian Kennedy and Mike Mussina will head to spring training in competition for the final spot in the Yankees rotation, according to the New York Daily News.
