CHICAGO -- New York Yankees pitcher Nathan Eovaldi is working out of the bullpen -- for now.With Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller off limits on Monday, manager Joe Girardi said Eovaldi was available in relief, but the hard-throwing right-hander watched as New York lost 8-2 to the Chicago White Sox in the opener of a three-game series. Fresh off his first major league win, rookie Chad Green will start Friday night at Cleveland.Betances and Miller had pitched on three of the previous four days, and Eovaldi dropped his fourth consecutive start when he lasted just 4 1/3 innings in Fridays 7-6 loss to the Padres.I think it was somewhat logical with our needs right now, Girardi said before the loss to the White Sox. Hell get straightened out, that Im not worried about. Nathans got good stuff and I think he can really help us if we needed today.New York got Eovaldi in a December 2014 trade with Miami, and he went 14-3 with a 4.20 ERA in his first season with the Yankees. But this year has been a roller coaster.He went 6-0 with a 2.72 ERA during a seven-start stretch running from the end of April through May. But he hasnt won since that surge, going 0-4 with a 9.20 ERA in his last six outings.Speaking before he was told he will not be starting Friday, Eovaldi said he would be disappointed if he had to work as a reliever long term.Yeah, I started as a starter and I want to finish as a starter, he said. I see myself as a starter, so Im not seeing it as that right now. Im just here to help the team and were short on guys and Im ready.Girardi also said he envisions Eovaldi as a starter and said he has no plans to go with six starters after the All-Star break, raising questions about what New York might do with its rotation.Green struck out eight while pitching six innings of one-run ball in Sundays 6-3 win at San Diego. Luis Severino also is pushing for a return after he was demoted to the minors on May 30, going 4-0 with a 3.16 ERA in his first six starts with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre.Green threw really well yesterday and Nathan has struggled for this month, Girardi said. Were trying to get him straightened out.A day after he homered twice to get to 401 for his career, Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira got the day off to protect his right knee from the short turnaround between games. The switch-hitting first baseman came off the disabled list on June 25 after being sidelined with torn cartilage in his right knee.Carlos Beltran went 1 for 5 as the designated hitter and could test his right hamstring in the outfield on Tuesday.I thought he looked fine today, Girardi said. Well see how he feels tomorrow and well see if the outfield is an option.---AP freelance writer Mike Cranston contributed to this report.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Cheap Custom Jerseys .

SALZBURG, Austria -- Carlos Sainz will remain at Toro Rosso next year, Red Bull boss Christian Horner has confirmed.After seeing his Toro Rosso teammate Max Verstappen promoted to Red Bull ahead of him earlier this year, Sainzs career path looked less certain. However, Horner confirmed Red Bull has taken up its option to keep him at its junior team next year, putting an end to speculation about his future.We took up his option earlier this week, so hes committed to Red Bull for the next 12 months and, as with all the drivers, they are contracted to Red Bull Racing and we have the ability to place them where we want, Horner explained. He is currently at Toro Rosso, which is where we expect him to be next year.We had until the end of the year to take up the option and we chose to do it early to put his mind at rest.Assked if Sainzs current teammate Daniil Kvyat would be replaced, Horner added: Id be surprised to be honest with you.dddddddddddd Daniil Kvyat is continuing his development and you can see that he is finding his feet now and there is not an obvious candidate knocking on the door at the moment who would warrant that seat.Its great for us to have a development programme that is producing talent like Ricciardo, Verstappen, Sainz as well and obviously Daniil Kvyat. We are not short of talent in our stable.As hinted before, Horner also confirmed Red Bulls drivers are contracted until the end of 2018.We are set in Red Bull Racing for the next two and half years, so it is a luxury issue to have.
