ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Masahiro Tanaka couldn't believe it. Most people couldn't, either.
Two strained hamstrings? At the same time? On the same sprint? How does that happen?
"In a sense, I was a little bit shocked, too," Tanaka said via his translator before the Yankees faced the Rays at Tropicana Field on Sunday.
Tanaka had just thrown 26 pitches in his first bullpen session since his wacky injury vs. the Mets at Citi Field on June 8.
Tanaka strained both hamstrings sprinting from third base to home on Aaron Judge's sacrifice fly.
