The New York Yankees‘ injury woes took a few weeks off, but they have once again entered the fold. Relief pitcher Tommy Kahnle felt a tweak in his arm after pitching against the Nationals on Opening Day weekend.
The next day at training, Kahnle felt tightness in his right elbow and proceeded to receive an MRI. According to manager Aaron Boone on July 31, Kahnle was placed on the 10-day injured list, and the MRI revealed a right ulnar collateral ligament injury.
The relief pitcher’s only appearance was in the third game of the season when he worked himself out of a bases-loaded jam and allowed just one hit and one walk.
