Michael Pineda Is Officially Being Rushed

Michael Pineda is officially being rushed back to the starting rotation by the New York Yankees. It was originally thought that Pineda would not be back until sometime in September but that plan has changed just as fast as the Yankees lead in the American League East evaporated to the Toronto Blue Jays. Pineda is set to throw around 45 pitches in a rehab start this weekend and could be forced into the rotation four or five days after that. That escalated fast.
