TORONTO — CC Sabathia has pitched 559 regular-season big league games and has started all of them. Of the 24 postseason games he has worked, the veteran lefty has started 23.
Yet, it is likely at some point in the final days of this regular season, Sabathia will enter a game from the bullpen.
Aaron Boone said Friday that Sabathia’s next outing — possibly Wednesday, with Domingo German following him again, as in the second game of the doubleheader in Detroit on Thursday — could be followed by the soon-to-be-retired lefty entering a game as a reliever.
