NEW YORK -- Shaky Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes was put on the 15-day disabled list Friday because of a "dead arm," a day after he again got hit hard when his velocity took a sudden drop. Premier Steelers Jerseys . "Something had to be done," Hughes said before New York played Texas on Friday night. Hughes said there were no signs that hes injured and the Yankees said no medical tests were planned. But something clearly is wrong. A year after he went 18-8, Hughes is 0-1 with a 13.94 earned-run average after three starts and is having trouble reaching 90 m.p.h. with his fastball. Hughes acknowledged that throwing a career-high 176 1-3 innings last year could be affecting him. There is no timetable for his return. "We dont feel hes hurt," manager Joe Girardi said. "Well see if we can get rid of that fatigue." "Theres concern," he said. The Yankees decided there would be no benefit to sending Hughes to Triple-A and having him start every five days. Instead, he will remain with the Yankees and work on strengthening his right arm with exercises and long tosses. Bartolo Colon, who won the AL Cy Young Award in 2005 and has been in New Yorks bullpen this season, will take the 24-year-old Hughes spot in the rotation. "I didnt necessarily anticipate this happening," said Hughes, whom the Yankees counted on to solidify their rotation. "I dont believe its just disappeared." The puzzling problem was the latest setback for the Yankees fragile staff. Lefty specialist Pedro Feliciano was put on the 60-day DL because of a shoulder tear and is expected to miss his entire first year with New York. The Yankees signed righty Lance Pendleton to a major league deal and selected his contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He was drafted from the Houston organization in December and was 1-1 with a 1.59 ERA in two relief appearances this year. Hughes has had not gotten through the fifth inning in any of his outings. Baltimore tagged him for five runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings Thursday night. He reached 92 m.p.h. in the first inning but consistently threw in the 88-89 m.p.h. range after that. "I felt OK in the first inning and then, as I saw and everybody saw, theres a significant drop-off," Hughes said. "My arm feels dead," Hughes said. "Nothing coming out." Girardi had preached patience while Hughes had trouble cranking up his fastball in spring training and early this season. The manager, however, became alarmed this time by Hughes results against the Orioles. "Its like he ran out of gas. He wasnt getting outs," Girardi said. "It wasnt helping him, it wasnt helping us." With a loaded lineup, the Yankees went into spring training wondering how their rotation would hold up. CC Sabathia is a bona fide ace, but A.J. Burnett has been inconsistent during his career and Ivan Nova is a rookie. Hughes, meanwhile, was considered somewhat of a sure thing. The Yankees have signed several veteran starters since the end of last season. Colon has pitched in relief and Freddy Garcia is set to make his first start for the Yankees on Saturday. Kevin Millwood and Carlos Silva also are in the mix for later in the year.

Tweet CHICAGO -- The look on Rob Blake’s face wasn’t much different than those on the faces of his San Jose Sharks teammates on Sunday afternoon. Theyd just been swept out of the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs in the Western Conference Finals, and along with looks of disappointment were looks of bewilderment. The Sharks didnt play all that poorly in the series, and at times controlled the action. Still, they werent able to come up with a single win. Blake, a 40-year old defenseman and 20-year NHL veteran with one Cup victory to his credit, said hell need some time to let the sting of this one wear off before he decides whether to add another season to his lengthy career. That could mean playing for the Sharks or possibly another team if San Jose can’t afford to give him a new contract. To be sure, Blake brings a strong element of playoff experience, which neither team in this series had much of in their dressing rooms. That also makes Blake a go-to for reporters looking for perspective on games like Sunday’s and series like this. Q: I guess start with your thoughts on today’s game and Chicago coming back again to win? Blake: It’s unfortunate, but give them credit. They’re a good team. They outplayed us throughout the game. Q: If someone would have told you before the series that it would end in a sweep either way, you probably wouldn’t have believeed it would you? Blake: No. Randall Cunningham Jersey. I mean, it’s a sweep. It was close, but it was still a sweep and we have to understand that the level has to be even greater. The further you go in the playoffs, the harder it gets. We let the second period in the second game get away from us, then the third game was a very good game by both teams -- but they capitalized and won it. Now you’re down 3-0 in a hole that we couldn’t get out of. Q: You guys played a very solid defensive game in the first period, what happened after that? Blake: They turned it up. They played with more poise than we did. They made more plays breaking out and different things. They controlled the tempo of the games throughout this series. They’re a good team and they were able to do that to us. Q: How much did the goal that was credited to Brent Seabrook in the second period turn things around in this game? Blake: That got the momentum going for them. We never dominated, but that gave them some energy and some momentum. They’re a young team and a good young team, and they play with some poise. That gave them energy and got them going. Q: What’s next for you? Blake: I don’t know. I’m going to wait a few weeks. I don’t know what I’m going to do, but I’ll take some time here and decide. Q: You mean regarding your future? Blake: Yeah. I think I’ll let this sink in for awhile. I’m in no rush to make a decision. ' ' '
