"Because CC Sabathia won't start Game 2 of the ALDS today against the Tigers, the Yankees ace is likely no longer a possibility to start a potential series-deciding Game 5.

After Friday night's suspension of Game 1, which the Yankees won 9-3 when it resumed last night at the Stadium, Sabathia had said he would campaign to start Game 2 this afternoon. That would have allowed him to potentially pitch Game 5 Thursday on three days' rest. But Freddy Garcia will start in Game 2, meaning if there's a Game 5, Ivan Nova -- who was sharp and picked up the win in last night's Game 1 resumption -- is in line to take the ball."
