Two roster moves for Thursday

I would imagine that Warren won't be moved until Friday as it will involve a 40 man roster move as well. Let's look at the candidates: - David Phelps: in Tampa lengthening out to be a starter. He last pitched on Monday but threw only 3.1 innings. At the MLB level, you'd guess he might have enough pitches to get you 4+ in a start or they can bring him up as a long man, as early as tomorrow. - DJ Mitchell: Started last night and pitched a strong 7 innings. He's on the 40 man and I think he'd be right in line to replace Pettitte. I don't see him being brought up for relief help tomorrow. - Ramon Ortiz: Significant MLB experience and was scheduled to pitch at AAA tonight. Not on 40 man roster, but he is a consideration for a long man role. - Ryota Igarashi: Threw 1 inning at AAA last night in relief. He's pitched well at AAA, is on the 40 man, and has some MLB experience. - Danny Farquhar: Last pitched on June 22 and was picked up by the Yanks yesterday, taking up a 40 man roster spot. He's been trashed at AAA this season but has had some success at AA. He could be a one day callup tomorrow for a blowout and you could dump him to make room for Warren on the 40 man. My prediction: Igarashi and Phelps called up tomorrow. Warren called up on Friday and Igarashi back down. The corresponding 40-man move to get Warren back up...that one is going to be perplexing. I would imagine they might dump Farquhar. Garcia will make Pettitte's next scheduled start and Phelps will remain the long man.

It would make no sense to call him up tomorrow.
