Russo Set for Duty in Series
The Yankees hope Lefty Marris Russo returns to form after arm troubles. Coach Froelich says Russo’s issues were due to a toxic condition in the pitching arm that cleared with treatment, allowing him to resume throwing. He notes Russo pitched a two hit game in July and credits renewed strength for potential postseason duty.
