Yankees RHP Michael Pineda suspended 10 games, starting tonight, for possessing a foreign substance during Wednesday’s game at Fenway Park.

No surprise there. We knew this was coming the minute he got tossed last night. The suspension starts tonight if Pineda chooses not to appeal, and I can't imagine why he would, and he will be eligible to return on May 5th. He'll miss 2 starts, but because of the scheduled off-day on Monday the Yanks will only need to fill his rotation spot once. I imagine David Phelps will be the leading candidate to make that spot start. According to Dan Barbarisi, Shane Greene and Bruce Billings are with the team in Boston. No word yet on roster moves to add them to the bullpen.** UPDATE 4:40 PM- Greene and Billings have officially been called up, Dean Anna and Preston Claiborne have been sent down, and Ivan Nova was moved to the 60-day DL. There's your daily dose of roster moves. **
