CC Sabathia clears next big hurdle toward Yankees return
CC Sabathia Charles WenzelbergCC Sabathia won’t be on the Opening Day roster, but the veteran lefty took a step Saturday toward eventually being ready to join the Yankees’ rotation during the first month of the season.
Sabathia graduated from throwing bullpen sessions to a simulated game on Field 2 next to Steinbrenner Field in front of a Blue Jays-Yankees game.
Facing DJ LeMahieu, Troy Tulowitzki and Kyle Holder, Sabathia threw 32 pitches and looked better in the second inning than the first, when LeMahieu drove a ball into the left-center field gap and Holder walked.
