Chad Green’s signature Yankee moment probably happened more than five years ago, when the then-rookie came into the 2017 AL Wild Card game, down 3-0 with one out in the first inning. He struck out Byron Buxton and Jason Castro to staunch the bleeding and give the Yankee offense time to strike back, in a game New York of course came back to win.
The second-most notable moment of Chad Green’s career may well have occurred on May 19, 2022, when he was pulled from an outing against the Orioles with the dreaded forearm tightness. The right-hander, in his contract year, missed most of the season with Tommy John surgery, and although he did ink a deal this week with the Toronto Blue Jays, won’t appear in blue and white until at least June.
