Is Wright all right?

Yankees' Mike Mussina was originally scheduled to start today, but that scenario changed after New York clinched the division yesterday. Jaret Wright (5-4, 5.97 E.R.A) gets the nod instead and this is an important start for the right-hander. He has been bothered by a right-shoulder strain for much of the season and today he will attempt to prove to Torre that he's ready for the postseason.

"This is a big start in a lot of ways," said Torre. "He is certainly in our postseason plans, but we want to make sure physically that he is capable. If he is not and if we are lucky enough to get past the first round and on to the second round, then there’s a lot to find out."
