Sabathia 1 of several big names trying to stave off decline (Yahoo Sports)

After an unimpressive showing in spring training games, it wasn't clear whether CC Sabathia was really worthy of a spot in the starting rotation for the Yankees. Sabathia made it to the seventh inning Saturday in an 8-4 win over the Detroit Tigers, allowing only four hits in his first start since missing the postseason in 2015 while in alcohol rehabilitation. ''I felt great all spring, but that's when I'm working on my mechanics, so I'm not worried about results,'' Sabathia said.
