Masahiro Tanaka and the New York Yankees are at a crossroad in regards to what is the next step to Tanaka’s career. Tanaka currently resides with the Triple-A affiliate team in Scranton, as he looks to rejoin the major league team in the Bronx. Yankees fans should not get too excited, as the pitcher may take some more time to rejoin with the ball club.
Originally, Tanaka was placed on the disabled list with a small forearm strain and wrist tendinitis late in April. Concerns were risen due to Tanaka’s landing on the disabled list in the 2014 season due to a partially torn elbow ligament; a concern in which many thought Tommy John surgery was inevitable.
