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.Jason Dickinson Stars Jersey . -- Nathan Pancel scored twice as the Sudbury Wolves defeated the North Bay Battalion 4-2 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.

Ben Bishop Jersey . McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford.Penrith have the keys for a week, but skipper Matt Moylan still wont call Allianz Stadium home.Clinching sixth spot after the final game of the NRL season, the Panthers opted to take Sundays NRL elimination final against Canterbury to the Moore Park venue instead of the Bulldogs home of ANZ Stadium.They will be the only club playing away from their true home ground in week one of the finals, with Brisbane playing Gold Coast at Suncorp Stadium and Melbourne taking on North Queensland at AAMI Park.In the fourth game, Canberra will enjoy the backing of an expected sell-out crowd against Cronulla in the nations capital on Saturday.But the Panthers faithful have to make a 150km round trip from the foot of the Blue Mountain for their final in Sydneys eastern suburbs.Its not too bizarre, Moylan said during the launch of the NRL finals on Monday.I think if we had of played at ANZ, iits more of a home game for them than us.dddddddddddd Here its a neutral ground. I wouldnt say its anyones home game, really.However, Moylan stopped short of saying it was unfair on his club.In fact he is instead motivated by the challenge of leading his team into the business end of the year.The Panthers enter the finals on a five-game winning streak.Its just the way it panned out. We cant do nothing about it, weve just got to come here and play. It doesnt really matter where youre playing, weve still got to win, he said.The club offer buses to go out at most games, Id expect therell be some buses sent down here.The Bulldogs won the only meeting between the two sides this year when rookie Kerrod Holland nailed a conversion on debut to win 18-16.
