NJ.com: Yankees’ CC Sabathia gives grim self-diagnosis

NEW YORK — CC Sabathia doesn’t know what’s ahead, but he remembers the pain. He remembers it for how remarkable it was. He remembers it because it’s back.

Sabathia said after the Yankees’ 1-0 win over the Houston Astros at Yankee Stadium on Monday that the stabbing he feels in his right knee is “about the same as last year” when the degenerative condition in it limited him to just eight starts.

If that’s true, it doesn’t bode well for his return.
