Andy Pettitte, 39, Pitches for Trenton Thunder TRENTON - Just hours after the Yankees announced that pitcher Michael Pineda would miss the remainder of the season with a shoulder injury, Andy Pettitte pitched for Class AA Trenton on Wednesday. The Yankees are hoping that Pettitte can help fortify their rotation in his return from retirement, but the 39-year-old Pettitte is not ready to pitch in the majors. "I don't feel like the strength is there yet," Pettitte said. He added: "I got another start, and all of it is going to be how my body reacts. I don't want to have a setback. Pettitte retreated to the clubhouse after facing one batter in the sixth inning. He took the loss in a 10-4 defeat to Erie, throwing 81 pitches, 59 for strikes, and allowing seven hits and three earned runs . He struck out three and walked one. General Manager Brian Cashman attended the game and said that there was nothing Pettitte could have done to convince him that he was ready. Cashman said every starter could have been injured, and he still would not have promoted Pettitte. "Despite what's happening above, there's not going to be any urgency other than when he feels right, when he looks right, when his endurance is right and he's got his pitch count where it needs to be and all his pitches working consistently," Cashman said. Cashman said he had not determined where Pettitte would pitch in his next start. He added that Pettitte would make at least two more starts in the minors before being considered for a promotion.
