During the Yankees’ tough 9-6 loss against the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday, they may have lost more than just a game. Right-handed bullpen arm Chad Green had to leave his outing with a trainer in the middle of an at-bat in the sixth inning, which is obviously not a good sign. He had given up a go-ahead RBI single to Rougned Odor in relief of a shaky Miguel Castro, and with a 1-2 count on Austin Hays, catcher Kyle Higashioka called to the dugout.
It was later revealed that Green is being evaluated for right forearm discomfort, a less-than-ideal development considering that he was starting to improve and find some consistency on the mound in recent outings.
