Sabathia lands on DL with knee inflammation

The Yankees placed CC Sabathia on the disabled list Monday due to right knee inflammation, and they announced that Chris Capuano has agreed to a Major League contract. Capuano, who pitched for the Yankees earlier this season, was 1-1 with a 1.93 ERA for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Sabathia made just eight starts for the Yankees last year, and the 35-year-old is 4-9 with a 5.27 ERA in 24 starts in 2015. The six-time All-Star has a career record of 212-128 with a 3.70 ERA, but he hasn't had a winning record and an ERA under 4.
