Yankees put Hughes on anti-inflammatory medication

Via Brian Heyman, the Yankees have placed Phil Hughes on anti-inflammatory medication even though all parties involve insist the right-hander is healthy. “I think you can look at every pitcher’s arm and probably see some inflammation, ” said Joe Girardi. While that’s certainly true, this is still a little concerning just because the idea of an arm injury is scary. Something clearly isn’t right with Hughes, and I suppose some inflammation is better the alternative, meaning something more serious.
