The New York Yankees were far healthier on Wednesday than they were Thursday morning, announcing several significant losses. Notably, Carlos Rodon will miss at least the first month of the regular season due to a left forearm strain, and bullpen arm Lou Trivino suffered a mild elbow injury that will keep them out for quite some time.
Losing key starters and relief pitchers certainly puts the Yankees in a bind, trying to supplement injury with prospects. Expect Domingo German and Clarke Schmidt to step up in the meantime, but the Yanks also learned of another issue to centerfielder, Harrison Bader.
