NEW YORK — Andy Pettitte will be back on the mound in the Bronx on Sunday, and the New York Yankees are hoping he can again be a reliable presence in their rotation.

Pettitte is set to start against the Seattle Mariners in his first major league outing since retiring after the 2010 post-season.

“I think it will be a great day at the Stadium,” manager Joe Girardi said.

The lefty, who turns 40 next month, returned to the team in spring training and has made four minor league starts. Even though Pettitte was shaky over five innings in a triple-A start Sunday, general manager Brian Cashman says the time is right.

“I think everybody’s in agreement that he’s not going to really benefit from any more time down there,” Cashman said.
