NEW YORK -- CC Sabathia thinks he can be back in action in September. The left-handed pitcher got a second opinion on his right knee Tuesday at Hospital for Special Surgery, and was relieved when Dr. Answorth Allen didn't have any new updates.
"It's just arthritic," Sabathia said. "It's just a bad knee, like we knew. I think getting this rest will help."
Sabathia went on the 15-day disabled list Monday after exiting his Sunday start against the Indians in the third inning with a sharp pain in his right knee. He's no stranger to difficulties with his right knee, as he had season-ending surgery on it in 2014 and has had it drained twice already this season.
