yankees note....

In addition to losing for the second time in three games, the Yankees may be without leadoff hitter Chuck Knoblauch for a spell. Knoblauch suffered a bruised left elbow when he was drilled by a 93 mph fastball from A.J. Burnett in the third inning. X-rays were negative, but Knoblauch isn't likely to play tonight when Joe Torre will elevate Derek Jeter to the leadoff spot.

Pettitte's start was moved from tonight to Sunday, but not because of a physical problem.

"Andy basically likes another work day before he pitches," Torre said of his All-Star lefty who worked an inning in Tuesday night's game. "That's the reason we made the change. If there was anything wrong with him he wouldn't have pitched in the All-Star Game."

Torre will use Ted Lilly tonight against the Marlins and Clemens tomorrow. Pettitte will open a three-game series against the Phillies at Veterans Stadium Sunday
