CC Sabathia will make his final regular-season start at Yankee Stadium, facing the Angels, the latest “last” in a year full of them for the left-hander, who is set to retire at the end of the season.

The 39-year-old Sabathia has not been one for sentimentality this season despite it being his last of his career.
