After a huge 7-5 win against the White Sox on Sunday afternoon, the Yankees traveled to Arizona to start a three-game series against the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Chase Headley continued to play well; in his last six games, he has six RBIs, six hits, four runs, and two home runs. The Yankees sent Chad Green to make his Major League debut against Arizona's Robbie Ray. In Triple-A Scranton this year, Green went 2-3 with a 1.22 ERA, and allowed 29 hits in 37.1 innings, while striking out 36 batters. Monday's game was the beginning of a seven-game road trip out west for the Yankees, with three at Arizona and four at Oakland. Picture Credit: Getty Images/Norm Hall

After a dismal Spring Training, Sanchez got into a grove in 26 games in Triple-A hitting .288 with 5 homers, 21 RBI and 11 doubles. The news was first reported by Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders beat writer Shane Hennigan. Gary Sanchez has been promoted to New York. — Shane Hennigan (@RailRidersTT) May 13, 2016  

Last night, after several lead changes and ties, the Yankees beat the Royals, 10-7. Aroldis Chapman picked up his first save as a Yankee. Today, the Yankees sent the inconsistent Michael Pineda to the hill to face Kansas City’s Yordano Ventura. Both Jacoby Ellsbury and Mark Teixeira remained out of the lineup as they continued to battle their respective injuries. The Yankees have won four of their last five games, dating back to last Friday, and looked to capture on their recent offensive success. The Yankees certainly look better after struggling to score runs in the beginning of the season.  Picture Credit: Elsa/Getty Image s

After two wins over the Boston Red Sox on Friday and Saturday, the Yankees looked to sweep the Red Sox on Sunday, but knuckleballer Steven Wright shut the Yankees offense down. Today, the Yankees started a 4-game series against the Kansas City Royals at home. Ivan Nova (1-1, 5.14 ERA), replacing CC Sabathia in the rotation while he’s on the 15-day disabled list, faced off against Kansas City’s Chris Young (1-4, 5.76 ERA), who is the most extreme fly ball pitcher in MLB (and has been since 2002). Chien-Ming Wang also made his return to the Bronx for the first time since July 4, 2009. He was a 19 game winner for the Yankees in both 2006 and 2007. Aroldis Chapman also returned to the Yankees active roster after serving his suspension. Picture Credit: Associated Press/Kathy Willens

What a way to start off the weekend. Earlier today, at 2:21 PM ET, the Yankees PR Department broke Yankees Twitter by tweeting that CC Sabathia had been placed on the DL. Coming off his best outing of the season, this is a huge loss for the Yankees. Yankees manager Joe Girardi talked to the media, and said that Sabathia will hopefully only miss three weeks. Roster Moves: Place CC Sabathia on 15-day DL w/left groin strain, sign LHP Phil Coke to ML contract/select to 25-man from @swbrailriders — Yankees PR Dept. (@YankeesPR) May 6, 2016
