Yankees right-hander Ivan Nova suffered a Grade 1 flexor strain in his right forearm in the second inning of Thursday's ALDS Game 5 against the Tigers. Nova was examined by team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad at New York Presbyterian Hospital and underwent an MRI, which revealed the injury. The injury is expected to heal over the winter. Nova allowed back-to-back home runs on consecutive pitches in the first inning by Don Kelly and Delmon Young, and left the game after the second inning. "I just made two mistakes in the first inning, and in the second inning, they take me out," Nova said after the game. "It's hard when you don't feel good, and you gotta come out of the game so quick. And we gotta go home now. Nobody can feel good about this."
