Andy Pettitte (4-3, 3.83) makes his return from the DL against an Indians team that has been playing very well this season and can score a lot of runs. Opposing Pettitte on the mound will be Cleveland's ace, Justin Masterson (8-3, 3.07).

*Lyle Overbay will be playing in the outfield for the first time in his major league career. Overbay played a few games in the outfield while in the minors, but never in the majors. "I don't expect him to win a god glove out there." Said manager Joe Girardi.

*Brennan Boesch was sent down to AAA-Scranton prior to the game in order to make room for Pettitte on the Yankees 25-man roster.

*Chris Stewart was taken to the hospital again today after leaving Saturday night's game and being scratched from Sunday night's lineup with dehydration-like symptoms. Girardi said that all the tests came back clean.
