TORONTO (AP) Carl Pavano, written off by New York Yankees fans, will return and start for the team on Saturday at Baltimore.

The Yankees chose the right-handed Pavano over fellow righty Phil Hughes, who is working his way back from a fractured rib.

"We liked the way (Pavano) was throwing the ball and we felt that Hughes needed some more work," manager Joe Girardi said before Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.
