Sabathia (5-8) took the decision in a 2-1 loss to the Dodgers on Saturday, pitching four innings and giving up two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Sabathia was able to keep the Dodgers off the board except for a two-run homer by Justin Turner in the third inning, but he still has not not completed five innings since July 16. The left-hander avoided major damage though, and he helped his cause by striking out seven of the 18 batters he faced. Sabathia will take a 4.99 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 94:34 K:BB into his next start Friday at home against Oakland.

Sabathia (5-7) allowed four runs on four hits with three walks and five strikeouts across three innings Sunday while taking a loss against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Pitching for the first time since July 27, Sabathia wasn't exactly sharp, averaging a free pass per inning and giving up a three-run homer. Sabathia has lost three straight starts, which has raised his ERA close to a run. He owns a 5.01 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 87 strikeouts in 93.1 innings this season. Sabathia will face a potent Dodgers lineup next on the road Saturday.

Sabathia (knee) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty will return to the mound for the first time since July 27 after another round of injections in his problematic right knee helped relieve the inflammation he was experiencing. Sabathia didn't make any minor-league rehab starts prior to his activation, so the Yankees could choose to act more conservatively with his workload than usual in his first turn back from the IL.

Sabathia (knee) will return from the injured list to start Sunday against the Indians, Mike Mazzeo of Yahoo Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran lefty got through a bullpen session -- his second in three days -- with no issues Tuesday, clearing the way for him to rejoin the big-league rotation after a three-week stay on the shelf with right knee inflammation. Prior to landing on the IL, Sabathia compiled an 8.79 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB in three second-half starts.

Sabathia (knee) could rejoin the big-league rotation during the series against the Indians that starts Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He threw from the bullpen mound Sunday without issue and will do so again on Tuesday. If that goes well, he should slot back into the rotation later in the week. Sabathia's right knee has been causing him pain for years, and it's simply about pain management at this point.

Sabathia (knee) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session over the weekend, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sabathia is set to resume mound work over the weekend after responding well to a pair of injections (PRP and lubricant) Sunday. Assuming everything goes off without a hitch, it sounds like the veteran southpaw could rejoin the Yankees' rotation as soon as next week.

Sabathia received a PRP and a lubricant injection, and it will take him a few weeks to return to the rotation, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
He told Wagner that his right knee has been at an eight on a 1-10 pain scale for the past five years, so it's mostly about helping him manage the pain with an eye on him contributing in key games in September and October.

Sabathia (knee) could rejoin the Yankees' rotation in about two weeks, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sabathia has been out since Sunday with an inflamed right knee. He received a cortisone injection Tuesday. The Yankees currently have a 7.5-game division lead, so they can afford to be cautious with the veteran lefty.
