The injury bug has struck again, as veteran lefty CC Sabathia had to leave Friday’s start against the Baltimore Orioles after four innings and 58 pitches with “right hip soreness”. The team announced the injury, and that Sabathia would undergo an MRI on his injured hip.
Tommy Kahnle replaced Sabathia in the fifth inning. CC gave up three solo home runs (two to Manny Machado, the other to Chris Davis) in his four innings. After an inning-ending strikeout of Anthony Santander, it looked like the lefty was limping during his walk off of the field.
The Yankees will likely recall either Luis Cessa or Domingo Germán if Sabathia must go on the disabled list.
