Lineup, pre-game news

Here's some pregame news and the lineup:

David Robertson was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Whenever he pitches, it will be his major league debut. Robertson said the callup came: "a whole lot quicker than I thought. I wasn't really expecting it. I'm just glad to be here though."
Robertson had a combined 1.39 ERA in 29 games at Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He had allowed just 26 hits and 22 walks in 51 2/3 innings, and had 74 strikeouts.
We haven't gotten the corresponding 25-man roster move, but Sidney Ponson is going to be starting Wednesday and Dan Giese is moving to the bullpen, so it's neither of them.
Joe Girardi said of Ponson: "We like the way he threw the ball last night."
The Yankees are flip-flopping Mike Mussina and Joba Chamberlain in the rotation, since Mussina only threw 45 pitches in the rainout and Chamberlain threw 114 his last time out. Mussina will pitch Monday and Chamberlain Tuesday.

Ponson is in the rotation and Giese is in the bullpen. So obviously Kei Igawa is rightfully being sent back to AAA. (Unless they're cutting Hawkins, but it makes more sense to keep Hawkins than Igawa.)

Igawa could be our mop up guy.

Pete Abe just said that Igawa was optioned back.

Word is in: Igawa back to AAA
