The Yankees have placed CC Sabathia on the disabled list with a strained muscle in his left leg. He will be out until after the All-Star break, but manager Joe Girardi said that if all goes right, Sabathia will miss only two turns in the rotation. Sabathia did not want to go on the disabled list, but Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told him during a Wednesday morning meeting that the club would not take any chances with his health.
