Ivan Nova will receive and MRI on his right forearm Friday. Nova had to exit Thursday's start after the forearm tightened up on him in the second inning. "We didn't like the way the ball was coming out of his hand," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I think it was directly related to that. Some of his fastballs were cutting, and we never saw that. So I had to make a change, and I had to, you know, try to get our bullpen through it." It's likely he'll be fine with a little rest, but we'll provide an update on his status once the results of the exam are known.
