Sabathia to the DL; Time to Worry?

Yankees fans didn't get much of a chance to celebrate Saturday afternoon's win over the Toronto Blue Jays, the fourth straight on the road trip, before it was learned that CC Sabathia was put on the DL with left elbow soreness.

You never want to hear about a pitcher, especially your team's ace having an elbow or shoulder issue. Sabathia's elbow started to bother him on August 5, two days after his prior start, but an MRI showed no issues.

The soreness was present after Sabathia's last start as well, a 12-8 win over the Detroit Tigers this past Wednesday. Joe Girardi pulled the big lefty after just 94 pitches and 6.2 innings pitched because of concern over his number one's elbow.

Sabathia was reportedly upset about being placed on the DL and felt he could make his next scheduled start on Monday against the Texas Rangers. The Yankees were not taking any chances with their ace though.
