Nova (elbow) is approximately six weeks away from rejoining the Yankees' rotation, Newsday's Erik Boland reports.

Analysis:

He threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Friday and said he can see the end of the tunnel of his journey to return from Tommy John surgery. The Yankees could really use a boost in the rotation as CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka do not look capable of returning the top-of-the-rotation production the Yankees had been banking on. If you have DL spots in your league and are looking for a pitcher to stash, Nova is a strong candidate.
