CC Sabathia gave up four runs and 11 hits in 6 1/3 innings Monday versus the Orioles.
The 11 hits allowed is a new season high, topping the 10 he surrendered while facing the Mariners last week. With his velocity still down, Sabathia's margin for error isn't there anymore. He's still pretty good, but he's not going to be as consistent as usual, at least not unless he gets some MPH back. May 20 - 11:36 PM

CC Sabathia struck out 10 Mariners batters but was left with a no-decision in Tuesday's 4-3 win.

Sabathia allowed three runs -- two earned -- on 10 hits and two walks. The big left-hander departed in the seventh with two on and a 3-1 deficit, but Shawn Kelley got him out of that jam and the offense plated three runs in the seventh to get Sabathia off the hook. He'll take a 3.19 ERA and 1.28 WHIP into Sunday's start against the Blue Jays.

CC Sabathia gave up two runs in six innings Friday in a loss to the Athletics.

Sabathia gave up eight hits (including a leadoff homer by Adam Rosales) and two walks while striking out six. Things could have been worse, but he was able to wiggle out of jam in his final inning of work. The big southpaw threw a season-high 118 pitches, but failed to complete seven innings for the first time since April 1. He'll carry a 3.31 ERA into a start against the Rockies next week in Colorado.

CC Sabathia allowed four runs -- three earned -- over eight innings Saturday in a win over the Blue Jays.

Sabathia gave up nine hits, including two home runs, but he didn't walk a batter and struck out four, keeping the Yankees in the game late. The big left-hander is now 4-2 with a 3.35 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 36/10 K/BB ratio through 43 innings this season. Those aren't bad numbers.

CC Sabathia surrendered three homers while allowing five runs in seven innings Monday against the Rays.

Sabathia settled in nicely after a four-run first, but the damage was already done. Sabathia has made some adjustments to accommodate his diminished velocity, and he's doing well with them for the most part. Still, he's lost some of his margin for error.

CC Sabathia went eight innings, yielding three runs on six hits and a walk in Wednesday's 4-3 comeback victory over the Diamondbacks.

The Bombers were down 3-0 going into the bottom of the seventh, but they tied it up that inning and went ahead in the eighth to allow CC to move to 3-1. After a poor showing on Opening Day, Sabathia has since posted a 1.57 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with a 19/4 K/BB over 23 innings. He'll take on the Rays in Tampa next.

CC Sabathia - S - Yankees

CC Sabathia was impressive in Friday's 5-2 win over the Orioles, allowing two runs (one earned) over a season-high eight innings.

Sabathia's fastball velocity was right around 90 mph, but it didn't matter much on this chilly night in the Bronx, as he struck out a season-high nine batters. He scattered eight hits in the victory, but didn't walk a batter and benefited from a wildly entertaining triple play in his final inning of work. The hefty lefty will carry a 2.25 ERA into an interleague matchup next week against the Diamondbacks.

CC Sabathia - S - Yankees

CC Sabathia held the Tigers scoreless on four hits and three walks while striking out four over seven innings Sunday in a 7-0 win.

Sabathia's velocity was still down a bit, but he spotted his pitches much better than he did against the Red Sox in his first outing. We would still like to see his fastball getting back up in the mid-90s, but today's showing was definitely a step in the right direction. He'll try to keep it going next weekend against the Orioles.

CC Sabathia - S - Yankees

CC Sabathia said he was unconcerned about the lower than normal velocity he displayed on Monday.

According to Brooks Baseball, Sabathia's fastball ranged from 88-90 mph Monday, which is down notably from his first start last season, when he averaged 92.5-94 mph. "I'm sure that the velocity will keep coming back and the arm strength will keep building up the more I throw," Sabathia said. "Healthwise, I feel fine, elbow, shoulder and everything. It's just time I guess to build the arm strength back up." Sabathia is coming off elbow surgery and is typically a slow starter, so it's too early to panic at this point. Fantasy owners are sure to keep an eye on the radar gun during his next few outings, though.

CC Sabathia surrendered four earned runs over five innings Monday in the Yankees' loss to the Red Sox.

Not exactly the opener that Sabathia was hoping for. His fastball velocity was sluggish and he got himself into multiple jams by issuing four walks. The left-hander will hope for a much better showing next time out against the Tigers. His ERA is currently 7.20. His WHIP is 2.40.

CC Sabathia - S - Yankees

CC Sabathia was tagged for four runs over five frames Tuesday against the Astros.

He permitted six hits -- including a home run -- while walking three and striking out four. The Yankees have brought Sabathia along slowly this spring following offseason elbow surgery, as he only has 10 official Grapefruit League innings, but he tossed six frames in a minor league game his last time out. He'll be ready to roll on Opening Day.

CC Sabathia allowed one run over six innings Wednesday against Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The Yankees had the Red Sox on the schedule Wednesday afternoon, Sabathia's opponent on Opening Day, so he got his work in on the minor league side. Sabathia scattered eight hits while striking out six and walking just one. He threw 65 out of 92 pitches for strikes. There's every reason to believe he'll be ready for April 1.

CC Sabathia yielded two runs in five innings in his spring debut as the Yankees topped the Marlins 6-3 on Friday.

Sabathia had been working on the side as he finishes his recovery from elbow surgery. Now worries here, though: had he been the Yankees' fifth starter instead of the ace, he would have been allowed to pitch in games week ago.

CC Sabathia (elbow) will make his Grapefruit League debut Friday.

He was officially cleared after throwing 50 pitches in a simulated game Sunday. "Felt good today, no problems. I felt strong. I'm ready to go," Sabathia said. "I'm working pretty hard and trying to throw all my pitches and make it as game-like as possible. I'm getting good work out of it." The left-hander is expected to throw about 65 pitches during Friday's outing.
