Bryan Hoch reports that the Yankees will not give Kei Igawa his planned two starts, opting to cut him off at one and send him to the bullpen.

Ian Kennedy will be recalled on Thursday and will pitch that day against the Devil Rays.

Girardi said Igawa's current situation reminded him some of former Yankees reliever Ramiro Mendoza, but said that Igawa's future with New York would not necessarily be in relief.

"I see him as a starter more than anything," Girardi said. "That's just my opinion. I think the investment was for him to be a starter, and I think for the organization ... we'll probably try to continue to work on that at some point."
