On Wednesday morning, CC Sabathia rolled his ankle while participating in the team’s first Pitchers’ Fielding Practice of the Spring. While arriving at camp on Thursday morning, Sabathia still had his ankle taped from yesterday’s small injury.
But despite rolling his ankle, Sabathia declared that he will still throw a bullpen on Friday morning.

As Sabathia left George M. Steinbrenner Field yesterday afternoon, he didn’t believe the injury was a cause for concern. Yankees GM Brian Cashman reiterated those sentiments.
In fact, Sabathia believed the ankle was only wrapped because Yankees trainer Steve Donahue likes to “put wraps on”.
