Andy Pettitte has left the game against the Cleveland Indians just a short time ago after he was nailed in the lower leg in the fifth inning. Casey Kotchman's low line drive hit Pettitte near his left ankle. Pettitte took a step after the ball near the third base line before gently dropping to the infield grass. Pettitte threw several warm-up pitches and seemed okay and stayed in the game but then came up limping after throwing his first live pitch. Girardi flew out of the dugout and immediately took Pettitte out and brought in right-hander Cody Eppley.
We don't know the severity of the injury yet. Could just be Girardi being cautious, or just a bruise, etc. Let's hope for the best. Of course, this comes on the heels of the news this morning that CC Sabathia has been placed on the DL with a strained groin.
You all kow the saying, when it rains, it pours. We will keep you posted on Pettitte's situation and hopefully have some news by the time we post the recap. Stay tuned...
