His velocity is down, according to GM Brian Cashman here and here.
What does that mean? Mechanics, not enough uninterrupted throwing after his injury, fatigue, or something else. At least the Yankees are noticing it and looking to see what can be done. But it's probably another step in getting a realistic assessment of Hughes.
As Yankees Tonight says, if Hughes complains about it, then it's a real problem. Until then, it's just something to keep tabs on.
As for tonight's game, I refer you to Andy Pettitte, losing-streak stopper.
