According to his Instagram story, Yankees pitcher Domingo German is retiring from baseball.

It’s almost Saturday, which means New York Yankees fans are due for their weekly dosage of bad news.

Two Saturdays ago, Masahiro Tanaka was hit in the head with a line drive and taken to the hospital. Though he’s now OK, he’ll miss the start of the 2020 season. Last Saturday, Aroldis Chapman tested positive for COVID-19 and is now away from the team “indefinitely.” Now? Another pitcher is out, but it’s for completely different reasons.
