When a talented player comes back from a long-lasting injury, there is usually quite a bit of buzz about it. Sure, fans have no way of knowing whether or not he can be as exciting as he was prior to getting hurt, but the possibilities are normally worth some intrigue. However, the Yankees will get Ivan Nova back from Tommy John surgery on Wednesday afternoon, and it seems like no one is batting an eye.
Nova experienced one of the more unheralded rises to the Yankees rotation in recent memory. Technically, he's the longest-tenured homegrown Yankee, as he was signed out of the Dominican Republic as a 17-year-old in 2004.
