If you look closely, a small black cloud will hover above today’s Opening Day at Yankee Stadium this afternoon. No, there are no lingering clouds from yesterday’s spring snow event. Relief pitcher Bryan Mitchell is expected to miss four months of the 2016 season due to surgery to repair his broken toe. Hard to imagine with today’s anticipated first pitch temperature to be 27 degrees: the next time Mitchell will most likely be available to pitch will be in 80-90 degree August.
Bryan Mitchell had surgery yesterday, he is out at least four months, Joe Girardi says.
