ANAHEIM, Calif., Aug. 27 — There is a widespread perception in the Yankees’
clubhouse that Carl Pavano simply does not want to pitch. With each physical
setback, that feeling grows.
Pavano may start this week for the Yankees. But no one around the team will
believe it until it happens.
Just as he was becoming close to finally returning, Pavano has another injury
issue clouding his immediate future.
“It becomes one of those things where you take the air out of the balloon a
little bit,” Manager Joe Torre said, “because you know what his history has
been.”
Torre said that the struggling Jaret Wright was on schedule to pitch Thursday
against the Detroit Tigers. That would be six days after Pavano’s last
start, a six-inning performance for Class AAA Columbus on Friday.
Pavano said after that game that he was ready to return to the Yankees; he
has not pitched for them since June 27, 2005. But while icing his arm after
the game, according to Torre, Pavano felt discomfort in a muscle near his rib
cage, under his right arm.
“They don’t think it’s an issue,” Torre said. “They will get it checked
out tomorrow just in case it is an issue, but they’re still planning to have
him work a side tomorrow. He’s still scheduled for his next start; it hasn’
t been determined whether it’s going to be for Columbus or us.”
Torre was vague on other specifics, and for the second day in a row, General
Manager Brian Cashman did not return a call seeking comment on Pavano.
Cashman said through a spokesman that Pavano would remain with Columbus for
his bullpen session, adding that he did not consider this a big deal.
It could be that Cashman has grown weary of defending Pavano, whom he signed
to a four-year, $39.95 million contract after the 2004 season. Pavano had
finished 18-8 for Florida, and several other teams also wanted him.
Pavano chose the Yankees and later fired his agent, and he has never seemed
comfortable. He has had injuries to his shoulder, back, buttocks and elbow,
from which a bone chip was removed May 25.
“It’s frustrating for us,” Torre said, “but I’m sure it’s the same for
him, if not more so.”
That point may be debated in the clubhouse, where Pavano seems to have no
defenders among the players, who stopped counting on him long ago.
