OAKLAND, Calif. — The rotation CC Sabathia rejoins Friday night against the A’s at the Oakland Coliseum is a lot different from the one he left May 6 due to a left groin injury.
Luis Severino joined Sabathia on the shelf with a strained right triceps May 14. Masahiro Tanaka hasn’t pitched well in his last two starts, which he made on four days’ rest instead of the five he and the Yankees prefer. Chad Green was summoned from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make his major league debut Monday against the Diamondbacks and got spanked. Ivan Nova, who started against the A’s on Thursday night, took Sabathia’s spot.
