The "upper back discomfort" Phil Hughes began to feel Monday in a defensive drill turned out to be a bulging disc on the right side of his upper back.
Hughes was optimistic that, best-case scenario, he'd be able to pick up a ball and throw in six or seven days, but Yankees GM Brian Cashman said this morning the injury will likely keep Hughes off the mound for about two weeks.
