Garcia wins No. 5 spot, Colon to bullpen
Freddy Garcia - S - New York Yankees
March 26, 2011 - 9:40 AM ET

Freddy Garcia has been told he's the Yankees' No. 5 starter.

Even though he's been out-pitched by Bartolo Colon this spring, the Yankees feel Colon is better equipped to handle a starter's workload than Colon, who will pitch out of the bullpen. In all likelihood, we're still likely to see Colon starting some games at some point. Ivan Nova will be the Yankees' No. 4 starter.
