Yet another Yankee is heading to the disabled list. Following tonight’s game Brian Cashman confirmed Luis Cessa will be placed on the 10-day DL with an oblique strain. Cessa was called up earlier today to replace Tommy Kahnle, who was placed on the 10-day DL with shoulder tendinitis.
Cessa exited tonight’s game with the injury after throwing two innings and 28 pitches. Jonathan Holder and Jonathan Loaisiga are the only healthy 40-man roster pitchers not in the big leagues right now, so I’d bet on Holder getting called up tomorrow. Cessa’s injury also means Domingo German is the unquestioned sixth start right now.
