Masahiro Tanaka Starting For Yankees Tuesday
6 years agoAfter over a month on the disabled list, New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka (hamstrings) is set to return to the mound for the New York Yankees on Tuesday in Baltimore against the Orioles. The 29-year-old strained both of his hamstrings running out a sacrifice fly at Citi Field on June 8th. While he’s second on the Yankees in wins, Tanaka was not pitching well at the time of his injury, having posted a 4.78 ERA in his seven starts prior to the injury. Regardless, his record wasn’t affected, as he went 3-0 during the stretch, being carried by his offense. The Yankees will look for Tanaka to bring some stability to the pitching rotation which has lost multiple starters.
