Yankees' Nova (shoulder) to miss at least one start

Yankees right-hander Ivan Nova will miss at least one start with inflammation in his shoulder.

Nova was sent back to New York for tests, manager Joe Girardi said before Wednesday's series finale with the White Sox.

Nova felt a "grab" in his right shoulder in the sixth inning Tuesday, when he allowed six runs and suffered his seventh loss of the season.

Nova is 11-7 with a 4.92 ERA with 139 strikeouts in 157 1/3 innings.

David Phelps will remain in the starting rotation. He was ticketed for the bullpen after filling in for CC Sabathia, but the Yankees like what they've seen from him as a starter. Phelps, 25, went 6 2/3 innings and struck out seven in a 4-1 loss to the Red Sox on Saturday.
