Nova (elbow) threw 91-95 mph during his first rehab start Monday with High-A Tampa, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports. Nova threw 75 pitches over 4.2 innings, striking out three batters and allowing two runs (one earned) on just three hits. Given his pitch count, along with statements made by Yankees manager Joe Girardi a few weeks back, Nova may only need two or three more rehab appearances before joining the big-league rotation.
