    The New York Yankees hope that one of the most burning questions surrounding the team -- "What is wrong with Phil Hughes?" -- will be answered early next week.Hughes will be examined in St. Louis on Monday by specialist Dr. William Thompson in an effort to determine the cause of his season-long decrease in velocity.The Yankees believe Hughes may be affected by thoratic outlet syndrome (TOS) and Thomspon is considered an expert on the condition, which affects circulation.
