Cessa is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start one game of the Yankees' series next week with the Twins in Minnesota, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the Yankees coming out of the All-Star break with six games in five days, Cessa had initially been viewed as a candidate to make a spot start in one game of the team's doubleheader with the Red Sox on Sunday, but Bryan Mitchell will instead be called up -- likely as New York's 26th man -- to start Game 1, while Masahiro Tanaka handles the nightcap. It appears Cessa rather than Mitchell could be in store for a more permanent spot in the rotation, however, after it was revealed Friday that Michael Pineda was dealing with a partially torn right UCL that could require season-ending Tommy John surgery. With Pineda in line for a trip to the 10-day disabled list at the very least, Cessa seems poised to get the first crack at settling in as the Yankees' fifth starter, but he may not have a long leash after previously submitting a 5.93 ERA over 13.2 innings in his other three starts with the big club this season. If Cessa falters again in his next outing against the Twins -- which will likely come Monday or Tuesday -- the Yankees could be inclined to give prospect Chance Adams, who has dominated over 17 starts between Double-A Trenton and Triple-A in 2017, his first trial in the big-league rotation.
