Pavano (shoulder) now needs at least another two weeks before he returns to the rotation, the Yankees' official site reports.
The Yankees had been expecting Pavano to return as soon as Sunday, but the righthander now appears to need to build more stamina before returning. Pavano threw a bullpen session in Tampa on Thursday, and will throw 60- and 80-pitch batting practice sessions over the course of the next several days.
