The Yankees placed Chad Green on the 15-day IL with an elbow strain, two days after Green walked off the mound in Baltimore with pain in his right forearm. The club recalled Ron Marinaccio to take Green’s spot on the active roster for the time being.
Manager Aaron Boone stated yesterday that there was “definitely concern” about the severity of Green’s injury, and the nature of the ailment certainly lends itself to Tommy John surgery speculation. We’ll have to keep our fingers crossed that Green is able to avoid a lengthy absence, but things aren’t looking great at the moment.
