The New York Yankees replaced starting pitcher CC Sabathia (shoulder) on the American League Championship Series roster on Friday with reliever Ben Heller. Sabathia suffered a subluxation of his left shoulder joint in his relief appearance in the Game 4 loss to the Astros on Thursday night. The left-hander announced before this season that 2019 would be his last, so unfortunately Sabathia will end his career in the playoffs on a sour note. The veteran hurler spent his last 11 seasons in pinstripes and should get into the Hall of Fame eventually.
Updating a previous report, New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia (shoulder) suffered a serious shoulder injury in the Game 4 loss to the Astros on Thursday in the American League Championship Series. Manager Aaron Boone said Sabathia's injury is "not good." The left-hander came on in relief and retired two hitters before departing. The future Hall of Famer will likely end his career on that note, unfortunately. The Yankees will look to replace him on the ALCS roster with another relief pitcher most likely.
New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia left his outing early in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series against the Astros on Thursday after appearing to aggravate his knee injury during a pitch. The future Hall of Fame left-hander announced before the season that 2019 would be his last, so Thursday's game will likely end up being his last as a professional. Sabathia left visibly upset but received a classy standing ovation from Yankees fans and Astros players alike. If this is it, the 39-year-old will finish with 251 wins, a 3.74 ERA, 7.8 K/9 and 3,093 strikeouts in 3,577 1/3 innings over 560 career starts. He's been with the Yankees the last 11 years. He's a six-time All-Star and won a Cy Young in 2007 with the Indians.
New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia (shoulder) is being left off the roster for the American League Division Series against the Twins. Manager Aaron Boone said that Sabathia's shoulder didn't bounce back well after his last relief appearance. The left-hander had a cortisone injection and threw a simulated game on Tuesday. Sabathia could be needed in the rotation if the Yankees advance to the ALCS, but for now he'll just be a spectator. In the final season of his storied career, the 39-year-old went 5-8 with a 4.95 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 107 K's in 107 1/3 innings (22 starts, one relief outing). He obviously doesn't have much left to offer fantasy owners.
After leaving Friday night's start with knee pain after pitching just three innings, Yankees starter CC Sabathia was placed on the 10-day IL on Saturday morning. Rating his pain as a "10", Sabathia will have a clearer timetable after the knee is drained and had a cortisone shot administered. New York recalled starting pitcher Jonathan Loisiaga from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take Sabathia's place on the roster.
New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Sabathia has been sidelined all month due to a lingering knee issue. He's posting a 4.78 ERA across 17 starts with the Yankees this season. He'll draw the start against the Cleveland Indians on Sunday. He's only worth a look in deep leagues and AL-only formats.
New York Yankees starter CC Sabathia (knee) will be activated from the injured list and start on Sunday against the Indians after spending three weeks on the injured list with right knee inflammation. The 39-year-old has gone 5-6 with a 4.78 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and 82 strikeouts over 90 1/3 innings in 2019. Sabathia is not a recommended streaming option for his return this weekend against a hot Indians lineup, but is still a quality streaming option in favorable matchups down the stretch of the season.
New York Yankees starter CC Sabathia threw a bullpen session off the mound Sunday and reported no issues, lining him up for a return later this week. The southpaw will throw again Tuesday, and if he gets through without any setbacks, he could be activated for the series with the Indians which begins on Thursday. Sabathia has been shelved since the end of July with right knee inflammation, an issue that's bothered him over the past few seasons. The 39-year-old could provide some streamer appeal down the stretch run with one of the league's top offenses supporting him, but managers by no means should rush to the waiver wire to grab him.
New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia (knee) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Sabathia lands on the injured list for the second time this season due to right knee inflammation. He shouldn't be sidelined any longer than the 10 days, but his knee issues sound like they will continue to linger. Infielder Tyler Wade has been recalled to take Sabathia's spot on the active roster.
For only the second time in his lengthy career, New York Yankees veteran CC Sabathia served up four home runs in Monday night's defeat against the Twins. Starting the first game of this road series, the left-hander surrendered seven runs in four innings of work, recording his fifth loss of the year. The game itself was a home run barrage, as both clubs combined for eight. This is the first start of the week for Sabathia, who'll make his next start at Fenway Park during New York's four-game set with the third-place Red Sox to close the week.
