CC Sabathia has exited his start this afternoon after apparently injuring himself on a pitch in the top of the 3rd inning. He struck out the batter on a fastball with the pitch and looked uncomfortable as he completed his delivery and came off the mound. Joe and the trainer came out to check on him immediately and he left the game with little discussion.
It was hard to tell what the injury was watching replays of the pitch. Sabathia didn’t appear to land funny on his bad right knee and he didn’t grab at anything or strain his body in any way.
