Earlier in the season the Yankees were just trying to figure out how to fill a five-pitcher rotation after injuries to Masahiro Tanaka and Chase Whitley left them short on starting pitchers. Now, with Ivan Nova starting his rehab assignment with Single-A Tampa today, they will have a huge decision to make possibly before the month of June ends.
With the way CC Sabathia has pitched in his last two starts there is no way he will be removed from the rotation. He hasn’t been great by any means, but he has been good enough to keep his job.
