According to SWB Yankee beat writer Chad Jennings, Alan Horne pitched in the same extended spring training game A-Rod rehabbed in yesterday, posted 2 scoreless innings and reported absolutely no pain. He's scheduled to throw another 4 innings Thursday, then appears set to make the start for Scranton next Tuesday. So Horne goes from looking like his career could be potentially over to back in the mix for the Bronx in a little under a month.
In other news, Jeff Karstens makes his 2008 debut for Scranton today. He could see time in NY shortly as a spot starter should IPK continue to falter, or as the long man.
