Buster Posey gets $167M, 9-year deal from Giants

Atlantic City welcomes Miss America contestants

First Posted: 4/3/2013 Upon entering the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders&#8217; clubhouse during media day on Tuesday at PNC Field, media members saw a &#8220;TBA&#8221; posted as Saturday&#8217;s probable starter.
That was cleared up on Wednesday as the team announced that New York&#8217;s Phil Hughes will indeed get the starting nod. It had been reported by several outlets previously, but the start was officially announced on Wednesday.
Hughes, who has been ailing with a bulging disc in his back since February, will become the first Major Leaguer of possibly several to rehab at PNC Field this season. Injured New York stars Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez might also get in some time at the $43 million restructured stadium some time this season.
Hughes, 26, who was a first-round pick by New York in 2004, played for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in parts of three seasons 2007, 2008 and 2009 piling up a record of 8-1 with a 3.51 earned run average in 14 starts.
Since his Major League debut in April of 2007, Hughes has been a mainstay in the Yankees rotation despite battling some injuries. His best seasons have come in 2010 and 2012 when he spent the entire seasons healthy. In 2010, he was an American League All-Star finishing with a record of 18-8. In 2012, he started 32 games for the Yankees with 16 wins.
Saturday&#8217;s game starts at 7:05 p.m., and in addition to seeing the New York pitcher taking the hill, the first 2,500 fans will receive a Greg Legg bobblehead on Greg Legg night. &#8220;Legger&#8221; will be on the field prior to the first pitch for a special ceremony.
