NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Carlos Beltran has been put on the 15-day disabled list by the New York Yankees because of a strained left oblique muscle.
New York made the move before Friday’s homestand opener against Tampa Bay and said it was retroactive to Wednesday.
The Yankees already are missing starting center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, who has been slow to heal from a knee injury that has kept him on the disabled list since May 20. Ellsbury played with Class A Tampa on Monday and Wednesday in the start of a minor league rehabilitation assignment.
