Cox, Kanekoa Texiera and George Kontos were all reassigned to minor league camp. Eric Hacker and Wilken De La Rosa were also reassigned. Andy Pettitte said it felt good to get out there finally. Arod has his surgery and everything went well, he is even aleady riding a stationary bike and starting the rehab process which is a great sign. Mariano Rivera had a great bullpen session this morning and is on track. Everything is looking good for the Yankees hurt players and that is a good sign as they will need everyone, the most important thing is the pitching though and everyone has looked good other then Joba but he will get that straightened out and if not watch out for Phil Hughes who has looked great.
