CC Sabathia secured his fourth win of the season on Wednesday as the New York Yankees defeated the Oakland Athletics 5-4. Sabathia was returning to the mound on eight days of rest after being bumped from his last start after having fluid drained from his right knee.
Up until the conclusion of Wednesday night’s game, the Yankees were saying that Sabathia was skipping last weekend’s start to work on mechanical issues. Now, fans may be back to worrying about the health of his right knee. Before the game many were wondering how Sabathia would perform after essentially being benched last weekend, but the report that it was a health issue and not a mechanical issue as was previously believed may change the discussion surrounding the struggling veteran.
