Yankees | Mariano Rivera won't be back this year

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said RP Mariano Rivera (knee) will not return to pitch this year. Earlier reports suggested that Rivera was ahead of schedule and was hoping to return later this year. "I mean, medical personnel should be quiet," Cashman said. "And it's not our physical therapist, it's someone he's got that we've signed off on. But those guys should not be doing interviews, and he provided an interview that was ... not a fair reflection of where this player's at. His over-enthusiasm, I thought, provided improper information."
