Just a quick update on all the moving parts that resulted from Friday night's injury madness, in case anybody missed anything.
First, Ivan Nova has been put on the 15-day DL with what the team is officially calling "right triceps inflammation." While sounding painful and causing concern about lingering issues moving forward, this is much better news than something in the elbow, and early indications are that Nova could be ready to pitch again by the end of his 15-day stint. Whether he gets his rotation spot back when he's ready is a topic for another day.
In his place for now will be David Phelps, who pitched the 4 innings of relief after Nova left on Friday night and is as close to being fully stretched out as he can be. Vidal Nuno, the crafty left-hander, was called up to take Nova's spot on the 25-man roster and will serve as a sort of lefty swingman in the bullpen. Derek Jeter was moved to the 60-day DL to free up a 40-man spot for Nuno. Austin Romine has also officially been added to the 25-man in place of the injured Francisco Cervelli, although there's been no word from the team on when they expect him to play in place of Chris Stewart.
