There wasn’t a concrete update available on Chad Green on Friday, but all signs point to an extended absence for the high-leverage, right-handed reliever.
Friday, a day after reporting right forearm discomfort, Green underwent further testing. The Yankees declined to offer any details, saying they wanted to gather more information before going public with a diagnosis. Green, likewise, didn’t disclose anything, although he did say, “I’ve been better.”

Right-hander Ron Marinaccio was in the Yankees’ clubhouse on Friday in case Green was put on the injured list. The veteran reliever has posted a 3.00 ERA with 16 strikeouts over 15 innings this season.
