CC Sabathia will return to Yankees in time for a familiar foe

CC Sabathia will come off the injured list on Sunday and start at Yankee Stadium against the Indians — the team with which he began his career in 2001.

The 39-year-old lefty has been on the IL with an inflamed right knee since July 28, one day after giving up five runs and nine hits in 4 ¹/u2083 innings in a loss at Boston. Sabathia started the season on the IL with a knee problem and didn’t debut until April 13.

In his final season, Sabathia is 5-6 with a 4.78 ERA in 17 starts and will be searching for his first win since beating the Blue Jays on June 24.
