The Yankees are expected to start Ivan Nova during their upcoming series with the Twins. Nova allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings in his last outing Sunday against the Rays and has earned at least one more start before the Yankees make a decision on his role. "We're looking at the schedule day-by-day and it kind of depends if we need him," manager Joe Girardi said. "But the plan is probably start him in a game in the Minnesota series [which begins Monday night]."
