Back to the Bronx.

Returning home after a 6 game road trip, the Yankees will welcome the Toronto Blue Jays to the Bronx for their first visit of the season.

Andy Pettitte's 10 strikeouts weren't enough on Wednesday night, as Alex Cobb surrendered only 4 Yankee hits in the 3-0 Rays win. The lose put the Yankees at 3-3 on the road trip.

Hiroki Kuroda will be the man to greet the Blue Jays at the door when he takes the mound on Thursday in the 1st game of a 4 game set. Kuroda shut down the Jays in his last start in Toronto.

Offense was an issue in Tampa as the Yankees were only able to cross the plate 5 times in the series. Kevin Youkilis is expected to rejoin the lineup after missing 4 straight games due to back problems.

Also expected to be in New York, is Derek Jeter. Brian Cashman said that Jeter will be in the Bronx when the teamed returned. His is in a walking boot and will talk to the media later today.

Probable pitchers:

Thur: Kuroda vs Burehle
Fri: Nova vs Johnson
Sat: Sabathia vs Happ
Sun: Hughes vs Dickey
