Colon throws against Pirates tonight
If he keeps throwing well, Bartolo Colon could make the team as a relief pitcher or insurance for another starter. But he's not yet a lock.
Eric Chavez, a good bet to make the team, gets a start at third as A-Rod becomes the designated hitter.
Catcher Russell Martin could use a couple of hits--not that rookie Jesus Montero is lighting up the yard.
Tonight's lineup:
Derek Jeter SS
Russell Martin C
Mark Teixeira 1B
Alex Rodriguez DH
Robinson Cano 2B
Andruw Jones LF
Eric Chavez 3B
Justin Maxwell RF
Melky Mesa CF
Bartolo Colon
