C. C. Sabathia, a commanding presence and a key leader for the Yankees, if no longer a franchise star, left the team and said Monday that he was entering an alcohol treatment program.
Although
Sabathia was not expected to pitch Tuesday night in the wild-card game
against the Houston Astros — the Yankees’ first playoff game since 2012 —
the announcement left the Yankees stunned. Many members of the team
threw their support behind Sabathia.
“All
that matters now is what’s happening now, which is obviously he’s going
to get the help necessary in a structured environment,” General Manager
Brian Cashman said in a news conference at Yankee Stadium, just before
the team worked out. “He’s going to get professional help. That’s the
most important thing right now.”
