CC Sabathia pitched 5 1/3 innings against the Nationals, allowing five hits, three runs, three walks, while striking out three. He finishes the spring with an 8.10 ERA.
Fantasy Impact
Sabathia could be a SP4 in AL-only leagues this season, but he needs to show that he is healthy and ready to perform. Sabathia has had weight problems and needs to show that he can handle his new found added weight. Many said that Sabathia's weight loss over the past couple seasons created fatigue, but he has not looked good this spring as he regained weight. Sabathia was once a 200 plus inning a year pitcher with 200 or more strikeouts a year, but he needs to prove that he has the stability to reach those benchmarks again. At this point, Sabathia is not worthwhile for fantasy purposes.
