Looking at Pettitte's return

Via Joel Sherman, left-hander Andy Pettitte (fractured left leg) threw three innings and 46 pitches during his latest simulated game this afternoon. Pitching coach Larry Rothschild said it went “good, very good, super.”

 Pettitte will getting checked out by the team doctors on Monday, and if all goes well he will start ramping up his workouts in advance of rejoining the team later this month. Pitching coach Larry Rothschild said that Pettite will have no minor league rehab games and will instead have more simulated games. Joel Sherman believes that in the next 7-10 days Pettitte will throw another simulated game, going about 4 innings. The hope here is that after that rehab start Pettitte could rejoin the rotation.
