Yankees Designate Carpenter, Lose McCann

Update:

Brian McCann underwent an MRI and a CT scan earlier today – both of which were negative. McCann is considered day-to-day.

While I, and many, were at work the New York Yankees were making roster moves and unfortunately losing players from their starting lineup. The team added Masahiro Tanaka to the rotation sending Chris Capuano to the bullpen earlier in the week forcing the team to designate David Carpenter for assignment to make room on the 25 man roster. Tanaka took the mound for the first time in over a month when he faced off against the Seattle Mariners.

In the contest the Yankees may have lost their starting catcher Brian McCann to a foot injury. McCann was seen limping and wincing after hitting a ground ball in the second inning forcing the Yankees to pull him from the lineup. McCann is headed back to New York for an MRI so stay tuned.
