Yankees just can’t stay healthy as Chris Parmelee goes down

Chris Parmelee (center) is helped off the field after injuring his right hamstring in the Yankees' 6-3 win over the Angels on Thursday night.

Chris Parmelee waited a decade for a night like Wednesday, for a moment that so many players he knows will never experience.

After Thursday night, his moment will have to wait longer.

Shortly after strengthening his case as starting first baseman by driving in the Yankees’ first run with an opposite-field single, Parmelee was hobbling off the field with an injured right hamstring. Manager Joe Girardi said he would be “completely shocked” if Parmelee wasn’t placed on the disabled list.
