Time To Test The Ankle

For the first time since Ivan Nova was hit by a come backer with a pitch in the calf/ankle area and then twisted his ankle Ivan Nova will take the mound. He threw a bullpen session on Thursday and said everything was good to go so we will see today. He faces Homer Bailey for the Reds which is fun because when Phil Hughes was coming up him and Homer were always linked so close and always together. The game will be televised on YES and MLB Network and it will be on at 1:05 pm ET.
