Clemens to make Triple-A start Monday
Outing likely Rocket's final tuneup before joining rotation
NEW YORK -- Roger Clemens will make a third and likely final Minor League
start as he works toward duty in the Yankees rotation, tuning up on Monday
with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
General manager Brian Cashman said that the decision to extend Clemens' Minor
League warmup was reached following a bullpen session on Friday in Houston.
Clemens, 44, had returned home to Texas following his 102-pitch effort on
Wednesday for Double-A Trenton of the Eastern League.
"We want him when he's ready, no sooner than that and no later than that,"
Cashman said. "His preparation to get back and try to help this team takes
its next step into Scranton, and we'll see what we see after Monday."
The timing of the start for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre keeps alive the possibility
that Clemens could make his first Major League appearance at Fenway Park, his
old stomping grounds and an environment that would surely provide a charged
atmosphere.
Following the start on Monday, the seven-time Cy Young Award winner would
have his fifth day align for Saturday against the Red Sox, a start that is
presently lined up for Mike Mussina.
Because the Yankees have their top three starters -- Chien-Ming Wang, Mussina
and Andy Pettitte -- set to pitch against the American League East-leading
Red Sox, manager Joe Torre said it remains possible that Clemens could miss
the Boston series entirely and make his debut against the White Sox in
Chicago. The Yankees open a four-game series at U.S. Cellular Field on June
4.
"[Clemens is] a guy who understands the process," Cashman said. "He's
included in the process. He wants to get up here when he's ready to help."
Clemens threw 102 pitches -- 64 for strikes -- over 5 1/3 innings for
Double-A Trenton on Wednesday. He allowed three runs and six hits over 5 1/3
innings, walking four and fanning five. In his first start, for the Class A
Tampa Yankees, he gave one run on one hit over four innings.
Clemens signed a one-year, prorated, $28 million contract on May 6 and began
his workouts at the University of Kentucky campus before beginning his Minor
League tour of duty.
