In Chad Green’s first cameo with the New York Yankees last season, the righty showed some excellent flashes of encouragement.
In three starts between August 3 and August 21, against the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Angels, Green struck out 18 batters over 15.2 innings while only giving up four earned runs (2.30 ERA).
After that, however, Green gave up four home runs in his final two starts before being shut down with right elbow pain. With Green healthy and spring training underway, he has an opportunity to win a spot in the rotation, but has some work to do in regards to mixing his pitches.
