Masahiro Tanaka: (Forearm) Likely Starting Tue. Or Wed.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Thursday that Tanaka (forearm) will likely start in Seattle on Tuesday or Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reports.

Analysis:

Girardi also said Tanaka will be limited to a pitch count of 80 in his first big-league appearance since Apr. 23. The right-hander most recently made a rehab start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, striking out four batters and allowing three runs over three innings (62 pitches). Tanaka will probably be on a pitch count for his first two or three starts upon returning.
