Yanks' Place C.C. Sabathia on the Disabled List

The Yankees have announced that they have placed C.C. Sabathia on the 15-day disabled list with soreness in his left elbow. Sabathia first felt the soreness last week after his start against the Mariners.

Two days after Sabathia's start against the Mariners, he underwent an MRI which was clean. Sabathia also said that he felt soreness after his start against the Tigers in Detroit.

"As for our concern, it's pretty low level," Girardi said. "We want to wipe it out."

With Sabathia going on the disabled list, the Yankees have announced that right-hander Ryota Igarashi has been called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre


Derek Jeter Joins Hank Aaron on Exclusive List

With his RBI double on Wednesday, Derek Jeter has joined Hank Aaron on a very exclusive list. Jeter now has at least 150+ hits in 17 consecutive seasons, which ties him with Hank Aaron atop of the list.

"What he has done in the game goes without saying," Jeter said of Hank Aaron. "I just had to be consistent. You play every year and you hopefully try to stay away from major injuries and be consistent day-in and day-out."

"So yeah, I'm proud of it.

Derek Jeter currently leads the American League with 150 hits on the season. Miguel Cabrera is second on the list with 145 hits.

Ivan Nova returned to form on Saturday as the Yankees defeated the Blue Jays 5-2. After struggling his last couple of starts, Ivan Nova looked sharper than ever.

Nova allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 7 1/3 innings of work. He struck out 10 and walked only 1 batter. Nova exited with 105 pitches thrown, in which 66 of them were for strikes. With the win today, he was able to record his 11th win of the season.

The Yankee offense did most of their damage in the fourth inning when they put up four runs. Casey McGehee highlited the frame with his three-run shot to center field, which was his first home run with the Yankees. Jayson Nix also added a RBI single right before McGehee's home run.

Rafael Soriano came on in the ninth inning and recorded his 28th save on the season.

The Yankees and Blue Jays will play the finale tomorrow afternoon.
