Yankees locked into new 'Joba Rules'

Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
No matter what happens the rest of the way, the Yankees are locked into their new set of "Joba Rules," which saw Chamberlain limited to three innings in his last effort. Friday's leash may be a little longer, but just how long the leash will be is being kept secret.

Yankees probable pitcher

Joba Chamberlain

  • #62 RHP
  • (8-4) 4.38 ERA 115 SO
Though the Yankees won't reveal how many innings he'll pitch, they have confirmed that Chamberlain will remain on a five-day schedule for the rest of the season. He threw just three innings and 35 pitches last time out, against the White Sox, in the first test of the revamped "Joba Rules." Considering those rules, it is unlikely that the Yankees will allow him to pitch six innings on Friday, as they did in his last start against the Blue Jays, on Aug. 11. For his career, Chamberlain has a 2.25 ERA in 12 innings at Rogers Centre.

Roy Halladay

  • #32 RHP
  • (13-8) 3.13 ERA 165 SO
Halladay lost his second straight decision to the Red Sox -- and third overall -- on Sunday at Fenway Park, scattering seven hits and fanning six over six innings of four-run ball. The Toronto right-hander has lost three consecutive starts only twice before in his career, with the most recent stretch from April 17-29, 2008. In three outings against the Yankees this season, the Blue Jays ace is 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA and two complete games.

Yankees silenced

Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
Joba Chamberlain got off to a rough start by allowing two first-inning runs, and the Yankees were in trouble with Roy Halladay on the hill for the Blue Jays. New York managed just one hit -- Ramiro Pena's double -- off Toronto's ace in the loss.
