Nova will start Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Just four days after being told he'd be moved into the bullpen, Nova will be reinserted into the starting rotation for at least one turn, filling in for the injured Masahiro Tanaka. Nova struggled mightily his last time out, also against Toronto, lasting just 1.2 innings after allowing six runs on seven hits, but he'll look to turn in a better performance in the series finale.

Nova has been moved to the bullpen, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After back-to-back quality starts, Nova imploded Saturday against Toronto, giving up six runs on seven hits and a walk in just 1.2 innings. The loss dropped him to 6-8 with a 5.11 ERA and 1.40 ERA, so the Yankees will deploy him out of the bullpen for now, and perhaps continue with Adam Warren as the fifth starter for the rest of the regular season.

Nova could get out of the second inning Saturday, allowing six runs on seven hits and a walk over 1.2 innings while striking out one.
EDGE Analysis
He's now given up at least three runs in seven straight starts, making Nova a risky play if you're trying to preserve your ratios. If you need him though, his next start comes Friday in Citi Field against the Mets.

Nova will start one of Saturday's games against the Blue Jays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The division rivals will play a doubleheader Saturday after Thursday's game was postponed. Manager Joe Girardi confirmed Nova will start one of Saturday's games, but he has not yet decided if it will be the early or late contest. Michael Pineda will start the other game Saturday, while Luis Severino, Thursday's scheduled starter, will take the hill Friday.

Nova (6-7) pitched six innings, allowing three runs with three strikeouts, as he picked up the win against the Rays Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
It was the second straight quality start for Nova, as his ERA stayed at an even 4.50. The 28-year-old's lack of high volume strikeout numbers could be concerning for fantasy owners though, as Nova has had four or fewer strikeouts in five straight starts. He'll look to level his record at .500 next time out Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Ivan Nova (5-7) surrendered seven hits, three earned runs and a walk in six innings in a 4-3 loss to the Red Sox on Monday. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
Nova endured a rocky August in which he went 2-4 with a 5.71 ERA, getting touched up for 21 earned runs in 33.1 innings. Although he only surrendered four fly balls Monday, two of those left the yard, ultimately serving as the difference in a one-run loss. Nova continued to be particularly tormented by David Ortiz, who was responsible for one of those gopher balls and also doubled in his subsequent at-bat. After a strong opening start in his return from Tommy John surgery in June, Nova has now dropped four of seven decisions.

Nova (5-6) got through just four innings, allowing seven runs on seven hits as he picked up the loss Tuesday to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
After a few less than stellar outings, this was by far Nova's worst start since returning from Tommy John surgery earlier this year, as the four walks, seven earned runs, and just one strikeout were all marked season-worst totals. His ERA jumped to 4.50, which is now more in line with his 4.43 FIP, but he'll look to get back on track Monday against the Red Sox.

New York Yankees pitcher Ivan Nova will start Thursday against the Cleveland Indians after injuring his finger in his last outing against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to New York Newsday. Nova was concerned that his finger was severely injured after he was hit by shortstop Troy Tulowitski's line drive in the third inning, but he stayed in the contest through seven innings, allowing three runs in the victory. "I thought I broke my finger; it was hurting bad," Nova told the Mew York Daily News. "But (when) I saw (manager) Joe (Girardi) and (athletic trainer) Stevie (Donohue) coming out, I thought, 'We've got to keep pitching. We’ve got to keep pitching.' We've been using the bullpen a lot. I was focused on going deep in the game." Nova will take the mound after tests undergone on his finger returned negative.

Nova (1-3) surrendered four runs on eight hits over 6.2 innings in a loss at Fenway Park on Saturday.
Nova didn't issue a walk after allowing at least two free passes in every start this season, but only struck out three Red Sox on the night. The 28-year-old has a horrendous 12:7 K/BB ratio in four appearances since returning from Tommy John surgery, but some hiccups were expected following a procedure that kept Nova out of the majors for over a year. The 6.2 innings pitched tied a season high, and Nova will continue to build endurance as he looks to regain his pre-injury form following the All-Star break.
