Bombers bits

• Kevin Youkilis (lower back soreness) could return to the Yankees' lineup for Thursday's series opener against the visiting Blue Jays, Girardi said. Youkilis was listed to take batting practice on Wednesday, but Girardi said that he wasn't sure Youkilis would do much on the field.

• Major League Baseball has made a scoring change to the Yankees' April 20 game in Toronto. Youkilis' fifth-inning line drive, originally scored a two-run single, has been changed to a dropped line drive error on Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie.

• On this date in 1917, Yankees left-hander George Mogridge pitched the first no-hitter in franchise history in a 2-1 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
