New York Yankees veteran pitcher CC Sabathia, who has made four trips to the injured list this year, said he would have already undergone season-ending surgery on his knee if the Yankees weren't playing so well.
"I think if this team wasn't in a position to win a championship, I probably would have had the surgery a long time ago," he told Dan Martin of the New York Post.
He added that his knee was holding up about as well as he could have expected coming into the year.
