CHICAGO -- New York Yankees pitcher Nathan Eovaldi is working out of the bullpen -- for now.With Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller off limits on Monday, manager Joe Girardi said Eovaldi was available in relief, but the hard-throwing right-hander watched as New York lost 8-2 to the Chicago White Sox in the opener of a three-game series. Fresh off his first major league win, rookie Chad Green will start Friday night at Cleveland.Betances and Miller had pitched on three of the previous four days, and Eovaldi dropped his fourth consecutive start when he lasted just 4 1/3 innings in Fridays 7-6 loss to the Padres.I think it was somewhat logical with our needs right now, Girardi said before the loss to the White Sox. Hell get straightened out, that Im not worried about. Nathans got good stuff and I think he can really help us if we needed today.New York got Eovaldi in a December 2014 trade with Miami, and he went 14-3 with a 4.20 ERA in his first season with the Yankees. But this year has been a roller coaster.He went 6-0 with a 2.72 ERA during a seven-start stretch running from the end of April through May. But he hasnt won since that surge, going 0-4 with a 9.20 ERA in his last six outings.Speaking before he was told he will not be starting Friday, Eovaldi said he would be disappointed if he had to work as a reliever long term.Yeah, I started as a starter and I want to finish as a starter, he said. I see myself as a starter, so Im not seeing it as that right now. Im just here to help the team and were short on guys and Im ready.Girardi also said he envisions Eovaldi as a starter and said he has no plans to go with six starters after the All-Star break, raising questions about what New York might do with its rotation.Green struck out eight while pitching six innings of one-run ball in Sundays 6-3 win at San Diego. Luis Severino also is pushing for a return after he was demoted to the minors on May 30, going 4-0 with a 3.16 ERA in his first six starts with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre.Green threw really well yesterday and Nathan has struggled for this month, Girardi said. Were trying to get him straightened out.A day after he homered twice to get to 401 for his career, Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira got the day off to protect his right knee from the short turnaround between games. The switch-hitting first baseman came off the disabled list on June 25 after being sidelined with torn cartilage in his right knee.Carlos Beltran went 1 for 5 as the designated hitter and could test his right hamstring in the outfield on Tuesday.I thought he looked fine today, Girardi said. Well see how he feels tomorrow and well see if the outfield is an option.---AP freelance writer Mike Cranston contributed to this report.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Hampus Lindholm Jersey .

I was feeling strong and confident before the event and after the first throw I was sure I could go farther, he said.Chopra began strongly with a throw of 79.66m, leading the game. While South Africas Johan Groblers attempt of 80.59 briefly took away his lead, the 19-year-old settled for a comfortable lead post his next throw of 86.48m..ddddddddddddHe finished the round with a third throw of 78.36m.He had previously made the cut for the finals with his throw of 78.20m in the qualification round.When the spear left my hand on that second throw, I had a feeling that this was a special throw, said Chopra. I dont think I expected it to go over 86 meters but since the last couple of months, I have worked hard on my fitness, my technique and it all paid off today.He now ranks eighth amongst all throwers this year, moving ahead of Olympic gold medalist Keshorn Walcott of Trinidad and Tobago, whose best this year has been a throw of 86.35m.Chopra, however, missed his shot at Rio as his throw - much higher than the Olympic standard of 83m - came after the cut-off date of 11 July.
