Yankees make changes to pitching rotation

David Huff will replace Phil Hughes in the Yankees' rotation for a game against the Red Sox this weekend. This comes after Huff threw 5.2 innings for the win on Monday against the White Sox. Phil Hughes has had a bad season, with a 4.86 ERA and a 4-13 record. The Yankees cannot afford to give away games with bad starting pitching while they are going for a Wild Card spot. Hughes will be a free agent at the end of this season, but the Yankees will probably not try to re-sign him. If the Yankees do make the playoffs, this will not affect them as they will go with a 3 or 4 pitcher rotation without Hughes or Huff.
