Eflin (back) will start Tuesday against the Yankees, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Back spasms popped up for Eflin in mid-July and put his readiness for the start of the season at some risk, though he was never shut down from throwing and has evidently continued to progress well. He threw 60 pitches in his final preseason tune-up, so he's likely to wind up throwing no more than 75 or 80 in his season debut.
