Francisco Cervelli Suffers Setback In Rehab

The Yankees may now be forced to jump into the Brian McCann sweepstakes as their catcher Francisco Cervelli has suffered a set back. Cervelli has a stress reaction in his right elbow that was found in an MRI yesterday afternoon. The difference between a stress reaction and a stress fracture is there is no crack in the elbow yet. The Yankees will undoubtedly shut down Cervelli to avoid the crack but this will be no week or two fix. Cervelli will rest it for at least two weeks before even thinking about any more baseball related activities so we will not see Cervelli before August or September.
