Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Tuesday that Phil Hughes will be shut down for a few days to upper back stiffness near his shoulder.
"There's always a little bit of concern," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi. Spring training is longer than usual this year, so if Hughes only misses one or two starts, there should be plenty of time for him to get ready for the season. However, the situation is obviously worth monitoring this spring.
