Sabathia sent to hospital after experiencing dehydration symptoms
CC Sabathia's spending Thursday night in Arlington, Texas.
The New York Yankees' left-handed starter experienced symptoms of dehydration upon exiting his start against the Texas Rangers after five innings, and was sent to a local hospital for precautionary reasons. He won't travel with his teammates to Chicago.
Sabathia gave up nine hits on a hot night in the south, three of them home runs, and was tagged for five earned runs. He struck out three and walked one, his ERA now at 5.54.
CC Sabathia is going to keep starting, Girardi said (again): “You have to keep working on it and try to get better each time he goes out."
