CHICAGO -- J.A. Happ's tenure with the Yankees got off on the wrong hand, foot and mouth.
Happ, acquired from the Blue Jays on July 26, contracted hand, foot and mouth disease after his first start in pinstripes on July 29, but he will be ready to come off the disabled list when eligible on Thursday, manager Aaron Boone said.
"He's out of the woods, virus-wise, not contagious," Boone said. "If all goes well here the next couple days, then he'd be in line to start Thursday.
