UPDATE: CC MONSTER & HIS BUM ELBOW

UPDATE 4:47PM: News out of Yankeeland is CC Sabathia will be placed back on the 15 day Disabled list again. Read about it from the Star-Ledger's Marc Carig. HERE. If there are any further updates, we'll bring them to you.

Bad news coming out of Yankeeland. Of course it depends on how you look at this, but we need to keep an eye on it. It's being reported by Mark Feinsand that CC Sabathia has some elbow soreness. Read HERE. According to Mark at the New York Daily News: "Sabathia could miss his next start after experiencing some minor soreness in his left elbow in recent days, but the Yankees don't appear to be worried..."

Let's do what the others won't do right now, speculate on this one... CC WILL miss his next start. Why do I say that? Well, why rush the guy now? Let him miss his next start, that will only help us down the stretch. I trust the Yankees when they say they're not concerned. I have to say though, there have been a ton of tweaks and injuries this season with the Yankees and their elbows. Why? Check out the list:

Jose Campos: Elbow imflammation, read HERE.

Manny Banuelos: Shut down for a bone bruise on his left elbow, read HERE.
Brett Gardner: Elbow injury and surgery, read HERE.
Cesar Cabral: "significant" elbow injury back in Spring training, read HERE.

Now CC Sabathia has elbow soreness, not a bone bruise, not anything that requires surgery. My take on this is simple, we watch him and let him heal. If it's not serious, and hopefully it's not, he comes back in a week and everything is good to go. But look, all I'm saying is, these elbow injuries are weird, aren't they? We'll keep you in the loop here at Bleeding Yankee Blue and if anything develops with the elbow, we'll tell you. As for now... Let's Go Yankees!!
