Pettitte makes 47 throws on level ground

Andy Pettitte made 47 throws on level ground Monday, two days after the New York Yankees left-hander was scratched from a scheduled start due to lower back spasms. "I feel better," Pettitte said. "I felt good enough to go out there and throw." Pettitte threw for five minutes on a back field with pitching coaching Dave Eiland. "It's still tight," Pettitte said. "There's still a little pull back there when I try to get out over my front side. So we'll see how I feel tomorrow. [link]
