Kennedy to start on Saturday

According to Peter Abraham, Ian Kennedy is getting the call and will start on Saturday against Tampa Bay.

In case you missed it (and you may well have as the television cameras were long gone), Joe Torre announced just a little while ago that Ian Kennedy would start Saturday against Tampa Bay.

Mike Mussina will remain on the roster and work on the side. He will not be used out of the bullpen.

Kennedy, 22, is 12-3 with a 1.91 ERA in 26 games in the minors this season. He last pitched on Saturday.

I'm very surprised the Yankees did that, but I do like the move. Mussina wasn't adding anything to the team now and it's time to see what the Yankees have in Kennedy.
