BALTIMORE — Yankees right-handed reliever Chad Green left Thursday afternoon’s game with what the team called right forearm “discomfort.” Green left in the middle of an at-bat against Austin Hays in the sixth inning of the Yankees game against the Orioles at Camden Yards.
The team announced that Green will be evaluated by team doctors on Friday, when the Yankees are back in New York.
The Bombers were very confident in their pitching depth coming into this season and until the last 48 hours, it really had not been tested. They had one of their top pitching prospects, Luis Gil, take himself off the mound in the fifth inning of the Triple-A game on Wednesday night. He is also scheduled to see team doctors in New York on Friday.
Green was ahead 1-2 on Hays when he shouted something to catcher Kyle Higashioka. They both signaled to the dugout. Manager Aaron Boone came out and Green immediately left with a trainer.
