Masahiro Tanaka has been placed on the 15 day DL with elbow inflammation. Damn. Chase Whitley is likely to start for him Sunday in Baltimore. Zoilo Almonte has been called up to the 25 man roster in the corresponding roster move.
Masahiro Tanaka flying back to NY for an MRI on his right arm, The Post has learned http://t.co/bKbWhn37nO

Originally George A. King reported that Masahiro Tanaka was on his back to New York to get an MRI on his right arm. King has retracted that statement and now says that the MRI is for his right elbow. Somebody kill me, please kill me now.
It's Tanaka's elbow that's getting a look in the MRI http://t.co/bKbWhn37nO

Tanaka, an All Star in his first season in the states with 12 wins and a 2.51 ERA, has been the Yankees saving grace. New York cannot ride out a Tanaka loss, this has the potential to be season changing.
We're so done this season. It's ova Johnny. Ova!
ReplyDeleteNot yet Mike. Let the team doctor take a look. If it's a quick 15 day thing with the All Star Break Tanaka only missed three starts tops, maybe just two with a couple extra days rest.
DeleteWe can stay alive with just two starts, MAYBE three. Anymore than that and it's time to sell .
Yeah, but that lineup can only hit till the 3rd inning.
ReplyDeleteI understand positive thinking thing you're getting at, but really? Elbow? Getting. The feeling this is goodbye till 2016 for Tanaka
Lineup did a little better today, well Mark teixeira did.
DeleteYes elbow, no mention of the ligament yet. Yankees being too cool about this, I'm worried.
Not that I can ever stop watching. Fml
ReplyDeleteSame here, the team is like crack.
