CC Sabathia Placed on 10-Day DL with Hip Injury
The New York Yankees announced Saturday they placed starting pitcher CC Sabathia on the 10-day disabled list with a right hip strain.
The 37-year-old lefty dealt with knee and hamstring injuries last season, limiting him to 148.2 innings, the second-fewest of his career. This was a disappointment for a player who topped 200 innings every year from 2007 to 2013 and has averaged 195 innings per year in his 17 seasons in the majors.
On the plus side, he was extremely effective when on the field, producing some of the best numbers he has had in years.
Sabathia finished 2017 with a 14-5 record and 3.69 ERA while helping the team reach the American League Championship Series.
