NEW YORK -- The Yankees placed starting pitcher CC Sabathia on the 10-day disabled list Monday with right knee inflammation.
The move comes one day after Sabathia threw a six-inning one-hitter in the Yankees' 7-2 win over the Texas Rangers. The 18-year veteran has been dealing with a degenerative issue in the knee for some time. It has forced him in recent seasons to pitch while wearing a leg brace around the knee.
Sabathia went to the ground in the second inning Sunday, landing awkwardly as he fielded a short comebacker off Joey Gallo's bat.
