KANSAS CITY, Mo. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The New York Yankees have put right-hander Chase Whitley on the disabled list with a sprained right elbow and recalled right-hander Jose Ramirez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The Yankees announced the move before opening a three-game set Friday night in Kansas City.
Whitley left in the second inning of Thursday night’s loss to Tampa Bay with right elbow pain that had been bothering him for a while. He underwent an MRI exam and other tests on Friday and manager Joe Girardi expressed concern that he may need Tommy John surgery.
