TORONTO (AP) - Carl Pavano, written off by New York Yankees' fans, will return and start for the team on Saturday at Baltimore.

The 32-year-old right-hander signed a $39.95 million, four-year contract with the Yankees before the 2005 season but injuries to his shoulder, back, buttocks, elbow and ribs have limited him to only 19 appearances for New York, just two since June 27, 2005. He is 5-6 for the Yankees.

On the disabled list all season following elbow ligament replacement surgery in June last year, Pavano has been dubbed "American Idle" by New York tabloids.
