Phil Hughes looks sharp in intrasquad game, scheduled to pitch in Coney Island on Sunday

The New York Yankees may have been shaken by the injury to starting pitcher Bartolo Colon's left hamstring, but today they received some good news from Tampa: Phil Hughes pitched 3 2/3 innings in an intrasquad game and struck out six, setting down the first eight hitters he faced. The right-hander went on the disabled list on April 15 with inflammation of the right shoulder.

Hughes is scheduled to pitch for Single-A Yankees affiliate the Staten Island Yankees on Sunday at 5 p.m. at the Brooklyn Cyclones' MCU Park in Coney Island.
