Two days after throwing his best game of the season, New York Yankees starter CC Sabathia is headed to the 15-day disabled list with a strained left groin.
Sabathia (2-2, 3.81 ERA) threw seven scoreless innings with six strikeouts against the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday to help the Yankees snap a six-game losing streak.
The move is retroactive to Thursday. Sabathia will likely be replaced by Ivan Nova in the rotation. The team called up Phil Coke from Triple-A to take Sabathia's roster spot.
Sabathia joins designated hitter Alex Rodriguez on the disabled list.
