New York Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda is expected to return from his forearm injury to start Wednesday against the Houston Astros, according to the YES Network. Pineda, who allowed one run on three hits while striking out three in 4.2 innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday, has been sidelined since July 24.

Pineda has dealt with various injuries this season, though his 19 starts are the second highest he has had in the majors since making 28 starts for the Seattle Mariners back in the 2011 season. He is 9-7 with a 3.97 ERA and 117 strikeouts in 118 innings this season, while the Yankees are in first place in the American League East.

"I'm feeling good right now, so I'm happy with that," Pineda told ESPN. "I can tell when the arm feels good, and when the arm feels something's wrong, you know?" Manager Joe Girardi said he is pleased with Pineda's rehab, but would not say how many starts he would need in the minor leagues before returning to the big club. Pineda has a 3.97 earned-run average with 117 strikeouts in 118 innings this season.

CC Sabathia will take Pineda's start on Thursday. The Yankees will enter the game with a 57-43 record, which puts them six games ahead of the Baltimore Orioles for first place in the American League East division.
