When CC Sabathia was forced to undergo season ending arthroscopic knee surgery in 2014, there were concerns about whether or not the former Cy Young Award winner would ever pitch in the major leagues again.
The same question is now back in play after an incident that happened in Sunday’s series finale against his former Cleveland Indians.
The work horse pulled himself out of the ballgame after just 2.2 innings pitched, which is completely out of character for the gritty veteran.
The bad news is he pulled himself because he was experiencing right-knee pain that felt eerily similar to the discomfort he felt in his knee last July when he was shutdown for the remainder of the season.
