No Worries: Pettitte Says Elbow Feels Fine

From YESNetwork.com:

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Andy Pettitte gave the New York Yankees exactly what they wanted: a pain-free start.

Pettitte allowed three runs and three hits over 3 1-3 innings in the Yankees' 8-4 win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday. The left-hander was scratched from his previous start Wednesday due to minor muscle irritation on the outside of his throwing elbow.

"My arm felt good," Pettitte said after his 65-pitch outing. "Felt real good in the first. Got a little tired in the last inning. All in all, it was a good day for me."

"I was happy with his performance," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I had no concerns. He threw the ball very well. A couple extra days probably helped."

If anyone was still worried, you can relax. Though this was never thought of as something serious, this is still very good news; the last thing this teams needs is to lose Pettitte to injury.
