The Yankees won Monday, which they’ve done quite a bit of lately, but lost a pitcher.
After the Yankees downed the Orioles, 8-6, at the Stadium came the news that right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, the club’s most consistent pitcher since mid-June, will be shut down for at least the next two weeks with right elbow inflammation.
WFAN radio first reported the news early Monday night and the Yankees later confirmed it.
In a release, the club said Eovaldi was evaluated earlier in the day by team physician Christopher Ahmad at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and that a subsequent MRI revealed the inflammation.
In his last outing Saturday against Tampa Bay, Eovaldi suffered his first defeat since June 16 when he allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings in a 3-2 loss.
He walked four, his most walks in a game since walking that many June 5 against Anaheim, but did not complain, at least publicly, of any pain or discomfort.
It was not immediately clear when the pitcher, whose fastball consistently is clocked in the range of 98 to 100 mph, told the Yankees his elbow was bothering him. General manager Brian Cashman did not immediately return a call for comment.
Eovaldi, who was scheduled to start Friday against the Blue Jays, is 14-3 with a 4.20 ERA but 9-1 with a 3.43 ERA since June 20.
With CC Sabathia scheduled to come off the disabled list Wednesday and start against the Orioles, the Yankees — currently four games into a stretch of 13 straight games and a half-game behind the AL East-leading Blue Jays — had been planning to use a six-man rotation to give each starter some extra rest.
As of now, they are back to five starting Tuesday night, when Masahiro Tanaka takes the mound against the Orioles.
