Vicente Padilla, RHP (3-2, 4.71)
A.J. Burnett, RHP (3-2, 4.78)
Scouting Report:
Rangers: Padilla is coming off the disabled list and making his first start since May 16. He has been sidelined with a strained right shoulder. Prior to that, he was 2-0 with a 1.57 ERA in his past three starts. He also has a 2.08 ERA in three starts on the road. Left-handed hitters are batting .325 off him, while right-handers are hitting .190. He is 1-1 with a 5.51 ERA in three career starts against the Yankees. That's his fewest appearances against any team that he's never played for in his career.
Yankees: Burnett won for the first time since April 14 in his last start, hurling six innings of scoreless three-hit ball against the Rangers in Arlington as part of a 9-2 victory. Burnett wasn't thrilled with his command -- he walked four -- but said it was progress. He last pitched against the Indians on April 19 in New York, taking a no-decision in the Yankees' 7-3 victory. Burnett is 1-4 with a 6.69 ERA in six career starts vs. Cleveland.
