Brian Cashman has announced that Masahiro Tanaka will go on the 15-day disabled list. But hold your breathe Yankee fans because it is not his elbow.
With Tanaka shut down for 7-10 days, Cashman said "Let's conservatively say he's down for a month." Said it could be a little less or more. — Mark Feinsand (@FeinsandNYDN) April 29, 2015
Chase Whitley, who is pitching tonight against the Rays will likely remain in the rotation until Tanaka comes back. Michael Pineda will move up and most likely start for the Yankees tomorrow.
The Yankees also announced that Gregorio Petit will be recalled tomorrow, replacing the injured Tanaka.
