TAMPA, Fla. -- New York Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia has returned to the mound for the first time since undergoing a heart procedure in December.
Sabathia allowed one run and two hits over two innings on Thursday in a minor league exhibition game, striking out three for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre against Toledo, Detroit's Triple-A affiliate.
Sabathia, who has announced he's retiring after the season, said he "felt great" after his 26-pitch outing.
"No problems. I felt like the ball was coming out of my hand pretty good. All positive," Sabathia said.
Tigers center field prospect Daz Cameron, the son of former major leaguer Mike Cameron, had a first-inning double and Hector Sanchez hit an opposite-field homer to right during the second.
