"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yankees starting pitcher Andy Pettitte lasted four innings during Wednesday's simulated game according to The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;https://twitter.com/nickcafardo/status/245953770788384768&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pettitte fractured his left ankle when a line drive struck him during a game on June 27 against the Indians. Before the simulated game, Manager Joe Girardi told the NY Post that\u00A0Pettitte had a good chance of returning to the rotation if he could make it through about 60 pitches without any major issues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CIt depends on how his leg feels after 60 pitches,\u2019\u2019 Girardi said when asked about Pettitte appearing in a game. \u201CIf we feel he can move around and compete enough in a game, it\u2019s conceivable.\u2019\u2019Pettitte was 3-3 with a 3.22 ERA in 9 games prior to the injury. David Phelps would move to the bullpen to make room for Pettitte.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
