Sabathia (1-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up two runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings while striking out five.

EDGE Analysis

While it wasn't the result the Yankees were looking for, the loss was overshadowed when Sabathia fanned John Ryan Murphy to end the second inning, becoming only the third left-hander in MLB history to strike out 3,000 batters -- joining Hall of Famers Steve Carlton and Randy Johnson -- and the 17th pitcher overall. With that milestone out of the way, Sabathia will take a 2.66 ERA and 16:6 K:BB through 20.1 innings into his next start Monday, at home against the Mariners.

Sabathia gave up four earned runs on six hits with no walks while striking out three through five innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sabathia gave up five runs but only four of them were earned after a Gary Sanchez error on a sacrifice bunt. After allowing four walks in his last start, the 38-year-old didn't offer a free pass, but he did surrender three home runs. The left-hander has a 1-0 record with a 2.40 ERA through three starts this season. Sabathia will get his next start Tuesday in Arizona.

Sabathia (1-0) picked up the win by allowing a run (zero earned) on three hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings Friday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

The Royals scratched across a run in the third inning on a pair of errors, but Sabathia managed to toss two scoreless frames to finish off his outing. The 38-year-old lefty has yet to surrender an earned run through two starts in 2019 and has fanned eight batters over 10 innings.

Sabathia returned from the injured list to throw five scoreless innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing just one hit and no walks while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

Sabathia's only blemish was a third-inning single by Jose Rondon as he sailed through five innings on just 62 pitches. The 38-year-old was pulled after the fifth since it was his first appearance of the season. Sabathia will look to build upon this outstanding effort in his next outing, now scheduled for Thursday at home versus the Royals.

Sabathia (chest/knee) was officially activated from the injured list ahead of his scheduled start Saturday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

After a run of players heading to the injured list, the Yankees finally get one going in the other direction. The veteran's debut had been delayed by a suspension as well as recovery from a pair of offseason surgeries, but he looked good in a rehab start for High-A Tampa, allowing one run in 4.2 innings while striking out six.

Sabathia (chest/knee) will start Saturday against the White Sox, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sabathia was originally slated to start Sunday's series finale, but his 2019 big-league debut will come a day earlier than expected. Jonathan Loaisiga was sent to the minors earlier in the week to clear a spot in the starting rotation for Sabathia.

Sabathia (knee/chest) is expected back Sunday against the White Sox, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sabathia's start to the season has been delayed by a brief suspension as well as recovery from a pair of offseason surgeries. He has been making rehab starts for High-A Tampa and looks to be ready to go. Jonathan Loaisiga was already optioned after his start Tuesday, clearing a spot in the rotation for the veteran.

Manager Aaron Boone said that he's hopeful Sabathia (knee/chest) will be ready to return from the 10-day injured list and rejoin the rotation during the Yankees' series next weekend against the White Sox, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boone noted that Sabathia's activation will be contingent on the veteran southpaw getting through a rehab start Sunday at High-A Tampa without any setbacks in his recovery from a pair of offseason procedures. Assuming Sunday's start goes well, Sabathia would presumably rejoin the team and toss a bullpen session Tuesday or Wednesday, which would serve as the final step before Boone decides where the 38-year-old slots into the rotation. Sabathia's addition will likely bump Jonathan Loaisiga to the bullpen or to the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre rotation, while Domingo German could be pushed back a few days in the Yankees' pitching schedule.

Sabathia (knee/chest) will make one last rehab start Sunday for High-A Tampa before rejoining the big-league roster, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sabathia's season debut has been delayed by both a suspension and a trip to the injured list, but he should be back in action soon. He's eligible to return April 13 and appears to be on target to hit that date.

The Yankees reinstated Sabathia (knee/chest) from his five-game suspension and transferred him to the 10-day injured list, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Due to the Yankees' light early schedule, the team decided it was best for Sabathia to get his suspension out of the way first before heading to the IL. Jonathan Loaisiga was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move and will tentatively step in as the Yankees' fifth starter, but he may only get two turns in the rotation before giving way to Sabathia, who is working back from offseason heart and knee procedures. Sabathia tossed four innings in a minor-league game this week and will likely only need one or two more rehab outings to build up to a starter's workload. He's eligible for activation as soon as April 13 and should be ready to go by that date or shortly thereafter.
