Updating a previous note, Mussina will not be available out of the bullpen says manager Joe Torre, the New York Times reports.
Mussina has never once appeared out of the pen, and it will stay that way according to Torre. “We’ll skip the one start and we’ll see what we see,” Torre said. “We’ll look at it and we’ll make an evaluation.” The idea is for Mussina to work out the kinks so that he is ready to start again down the stretch in September.
