CC Sabathia placed on Yankees' injured list with knee injury

The New York Yankees placed starting pitcher CC Sabathia on the 10-day injured list with left knee inflammation.

What It Means:

Sabathia was tagged for 5 runs (4 earned) on 6 hits -- including 2 home runs -- with 7 strikeouts and 2 walks over five innings on Wednesday. The left-hander escaped with the win, but admitted afterward that he's been hampered by the knee. It doesn't sound like a long-term concern.

Sabathia has posted a 3.48 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 34 strikeouts and 17 walks across 41 1/3 innings. He's 3-1 in eight starts.
