Ten days after getting a "platelet-rich plasma injection",
Yankee starter Masahiro Tanaka is still feeling "discomfort" in his pitching elbow. Earlier this season, Tanaka was found to have a small tear in his right ulnar collateral ligament. The
Bronx Embalmer 'braintrust' opted for six weeks of rest and rehabilitation over immediate
Tommy John surgery.
Pinstripe Poser GM
Brian Cashman told
ESPN New York Radio,
"... it's not good that he's still feeling it at this stage." Ya' think? It looks increasingly likely that Tanaka
will need the surgery and therefore not return to the Yankee rotation for a
long, long time.
