Masahiro Tanaka. Michael Pineda. CC Sabathia. Nathan Eovaldi.
That's the order of the Yankees rotation for the opening four games of the season, as announced by Joe Girardi on Friday morning.
Tanaka's Opening Day nod, on April 6 against the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium, interrupts a string of six consecutive starts by new No. 3 Sabathia in that spot.
"We feel that's the way it works the best. We feel that gives everybody a chance to be pretty ready," Girardi said. "Tanaka will be on a little bit of a pitch count the first time. We just like the way it works for our guys."
Because the Yankees have a scheduled off day on April 7, Tanaka can have an extra day of rest before throwing again April 12 to close out the second series against the Red Sox. Adam Warren is presumed to be in line for the fifth start.
Girardi also said Alex Rodriguez would play five innings at first base on Sunday, the first action at that spot for the 39-year-old designated hitter/backup third baseman.
"He's done some extra work," Girardi said, but relays and bunt defense "will be a little tricky."
