Masahiro Tanaka: (Elbow) Nearing ReturnMasahiro Tanaka: Tanaka (elbow) could be one more rehab start away from returning to the Yankees' rotation, ESPN New York's Wallace Matthews reports. "If he pitched in a big league game or two and felt good, you wouldn't do surgery on a guy that felt good, that's the bottom line," manager Joe Girardi said of the team's motivation to bring Tanaka back this season. "Our hope is that we get through this and that he's a pitcher for us next year. For us to operate on a guy that feels good would be silly."
