Pettitte finished his simulated game. He's gonna need a few more. They arent calling it a setback, they're saying he hasnt fully healed and needs to build up strength. Sounds like he's gonna need more than the 1 sim game they prognosticated. He'll need 2 rehab starts at least, so that's 11 days built in that he's missing. If the guess is that he'll need 2 more sim games, then he probably isnt a Yankee option for another 20 days or so, putting Sept 1st as a likely possibility
Oh, and the Sox are 4-3 vs the Royals this yr, the Yankees are now 4-2. Who should be more embarrassed?
