Joe Girardi said the goal is for Andy Pettitte to throw 80-85 pitches in his rehab start Wednesday night in Trenton.
It was thought that Girardi might skip Freddy Garcia's turn in the rotation Saturday to keep CC Sabathia on regular rest, but he said before Tuesday's game the struggling righthander would start Saturday, with Sabathia starting Sunday.
