The news no Yankee fan wanted to hear trickled in yesterday afternoon. It had been a tense 18 hours, as Corey Kluber was forced to exit the game against the Blue Jays the night prior after only three innings. Considering he was coming off a no-hitter and in his first season after healing from a teres major tear, we were rightfully worried.
Initial news allowed us to rest easy, but the reprieve was short-lived. Fears were confirmed with Jack Curry of YES Network reporting that an MRI had identified a sub-scapular strain that would sideline the 35-year-old for a minimum of eight weeks.
