Phelps (elbow) may return to the bullpen rather than rejoin the starting rotation in an effort to speed up his recovery according to manager Joe Girardi, MLB.com reports. Phelps threw 50 times from 60 feet on Monday and reported feeling good. Girardi indicated that he's unsure of how he'll use Phelps when he's healthy, but if he uses him out of the bullpen, he wouldn't need as long to build back his arm strength.
