| April 1, 2008 Andy Pettitte threw 75 pitches in a minor-league game Sunday and remains on track to make his season debut against the Rays on Saturday, according to Newsday. If Pettitte should suffer some sort of setback, Darrell Rasner probably would start in his place. The lefty was originally slated to start the team's second game of the season but a sore back pushed him back. It sounds like he'll be good to go this weekend, though. |
| March 29, 2008 Andy Pettitte reported no problems on Saturday, following his Friday bullpen session, according to the AP. "Im good to go. I feel good," Pettitte said.

"As far as during my bullpen and stuff like that, I feel great," Pettitte said. "It loosened up good. Do I still feel it walking around? Yeah. Sunday is a good day. I need to get some good work in. Thats all Im looking for now." On Sunday, Pettitte plans to pitch in a minor league game. If all goes well, he could makes his first regular-season start on Friday or Saturday. |
| March 27, 2008 Andy Pettitte is scheduled to pitch in a minor league game on Sunday and then expected to take the mound for regular season action either Friday or Saturday, this according to Fox Sports. "We're going to see how it feels and try and stretch it out," Pettitte said. "Then figure out what I'm going to do after that game." Pettitte threw off a bullpen mound Wednesday and will do it again Friday. He hasn't pitched in a game since March 17. |
| March 26, 2008 Andy Pettitte worked a bullpen session on Wednesday morning and threw 36 pitches. He has been dealing with backs spasms. "I can just tell that I feel a whole lot better," Pettitte tells MLB.com. "This morning when I woke up, it loosened up nice for me. I think I'm to the point where now I have to push it and it'll start getting better." The southpaw could throw another bullpen session on Thursday and open the season on April 4 against the Rays. |
| March 25, 2008 Andy Pettitte has been pushed back to the third or fourth game of the season, according to MLB.com. The Yankees have reshuffled their pitching rotation to accommodate Pettitte, who has been pushed back to the third or fourth game of the season because of back spasms. Pettitte has been on the shelf since last week, when he experienced tightness in his lower back while driving home from Legends Field. He threw 47 balls on flat ground on Monday and was scheduled to undergo treatment on Tuesday before throwing a side session on Wednesday. Pettitte stated, "I just want to be healthy now. Did I want to pitch game two? Of course I did. That's where they lined me up to pitch. The important thing for me right now is that I want to be healthy. If I miss a start, it's not the end of the world. I'm encouraged right now that they're not talking about skipping a turn. It's progressing, and I feel like I will start in that first series." He remains a risky fantasy prospect heading into opening day. |
| March 24, 2008 Andy Pettitte played catch on Monday, but his sore back still hasn't progressed to the point where he feels comfortable in taking the mound, this according to MLB.com. "I just can't get on the mound until I don't feel anything when I get over my front side," Pettitte said. "We'll start with playing catch and see how I feel." At this point it seems like a stretch to think that Pettitte will be able to make his first start of the season, but no one seems too nervous about his ability to pitch early in April since they just think that he is dealing with a muscle strain. |
| March 22, 2008 Andy Pettitte has missed a scheduled start due to an injury concern, reports MLB.com. It's the second time this spring the Yankees left-hander has been scratched from a minor league start on Saturday due to back spasms. Despite the skipped start, the Yankees believe that Pettitte will still be available to throw close to 100 pitches in his first scheduled start, April 2 vs. Toronto. The 35-year-old felt tightness while driving home from Legends Field on Thursday and received treatment for about five hours on Friday. |
| March 17, 2008 Andy Pettitte was back in game action on Monday and said he felt "uncomfortable" overall, though he had no issues with his elbow, according to the Boston Globe. Pettitte threw inside on Big Papi, which appeared to irritate the big fella, but it looks like Pettitte and his sore elbow are heading in the right direction. |
| March 14, 2008 Andy Pettitte played some long toss and was able to throw 42 pitches in a bullpen session on Friday, according to the AP. "It felt real good," Pettitte said. "I was able to stretch it out in my long toss. For me to back up the distance in my long toss like I did, I knew I wasn't going to have any problems. ... Stretch out like that in long toss, you know your arm is good." He was scratched from Wednesday's game due to soreness in the outside of his elbow, but he should be ready to face the Red Sox on Monday. |
| March 14, 2008 Andy Pettitte reported not soreness on the outside of his elbow after playing catch on Thursday, according to the New York Daily News. He'll throw a side session Friday and a short bullpen session Saturday. Pettitte was scratched from his scheduled Wednesday start due to inflammation in the joint, but he should be ready to face the Red Sox on Monday. |
| March 12, 2008 Andy Pettitte was scratched from his scheduled start on Wednesday, according to the team website. The Yankees southpaw will miss today's start with what the team is calling "inflammation in his pitching elbow". However, the team is optimistic that the ailment will prove to be relatively minor. Pettitte said that he felt tightness close to the elbow, after playing catch this week and didn't want to press the issue in today's spring game. |
| February 18, 2008 Andy Pettitte, who answered questions at a lengthy press conference this afternoon, appeared to be on schedule despite missing the first four sessions of Spring Training. The Yankee southpaw threw 35 pitches off a mound at the team's minor league complex Monday, according to the official team website. Pettitte said during his second news conference of the day, following his first camp throwing session, that if he were physically behind his teammates at all, it would be in terms of leg strength. |
| February 18, 2008 Andy Pettitte's father obtained HGH and supplied it to his son, according to the Baltimore Sun. Pettitte's father received the growth hormone from a trainer who attended high school with the New York Yankees pitcher. Kelly Blair, who owns a gym in Pasadena, Texas, was the source of the substance, noted a report in the New York Daily News on Sunday. Pettitte, who has admitted using hGH in 2004, told congressional attorneys that he received it from his father, Tom Pettitte, who has had serious health problems. In his deposition, Pettitte said his father got the drugs from a trainer at a gym where he worked out but did not identify the trainer. Pettitte is scheduled to finally report to Spring Training today in Florida. |
| February 13, 2008 Andy Pettitte will report five days late to training camp, a result of his having to testify in front of Congress according to a report on Reuters. Pettitte likely needs the time just to decompress from the past week's worth of craziness, and given his illustrious career and dedication to training, this will likely have no effect on his ability to take the hill during the first week of the season. |
| February 13, 2008 The NY Post is reporting that in Andy Pettitte's affidavit, the pitcher revealed a conversation he had with Roger Clemens nearly 10 years ago in which Clemens admitted to using human growth hormone. Pettitte also said Clemens backtracked when the subject of HGH came up again in conversation in 2005, and Clemens responded by saying Pettitte misunderstood the previous exchange and that he had been talking about HGH use by his wife in the original conversation. We should know more about how all of this will shake out after Clemens and his former trainer, Brian McNamee, appear before congress today. |
| February 11, 2008 Andy Pettitte has apparently asked out of testifying before Congress on Monday according to a report on MLB.com. Apparently, Pettitte may be allowed to skip testifying in front of Congress and the cameras which would certainly save him from those awkward moments when the questioning would ultimately turn to his close buddy, Roger Clemens. Pettitte was already deposed last week. |
