Igawa optioned

With Ian Kennedy being called up to start this afternoon's game, Kei Igawa has been optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre.

Igawa was terrible in his start Friday night in Detroit, giving up six earned runs in three innings in the Yankees' 6-5 loss.

In 70 2-3 Major League innings, he has a 6.75 ERA.

You have to think he won't be back until September. If there is another injury in the starting rotation, I feel the Yankees would try someone else before going back to Igawa.
