Yankees right-hander Phil Hughes has declared himself ready to return to the team's rotation.
"Absolutely, if they asked me," Hughes said after throwing 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball during an 88-pitch rehab start for the Trenton Thunder on Wednesday afternoon. "But I know they won't. I don't make those decisions."
Hughes allowed just three hits, walked two and struck out eight -- all via swinging strikes.
"My last two outings stuff wise have been good," Hughes said. "Command wise I didn't necessarily think about what the radar gun said every pitch. I knew my stuff's been good the last month or so. I've just gotta make sure the location's there, and that's the other key, I think."

He is probably going to make one more start before he comes back. At least I hope he does.
