CC Sabathia Allows Two Runs In Rehab Start

CC Sabathia has officially started Vidal Nuno's 30 day clock, also known as the final countdown (cue the music), with his first rehab start for the High-A Tampa Yankees tonight. CC started with a lineup of Jake Cave, Angelo Gumbs, Greg Bird, and Aaron Judge most notably behind him and allowed two runs in the contest. CC allowed a total of three hits and struck out two with a walk in 2.1 innings. Sabathia threw 36 pitches, 24 of them for strikes, and sat around 87-89 MPH with a few fastballs touching 90 MPH. Most important though, no injury, discomfort, or lingering soreness so it's a win for the Yankees.
