This is another tough blow to the Yankees at a time where they can ill afford any more injuries. CC was coming off his second straight outstanding start but now he’s back on the DL for the second time this season after it was revealed he had inflammation in his right knee. It’s the same knee that has been causing him issues for years.
If the injury doesn’t keep CC out well past the 10 days you would figure that this shouldn’t hurt the Yankees record wise all that much. They have an easy August schedule that they should be able to take advantage of, but they better hope that CC can return for the stretch run come September.
