Yesterday, we learned that  Pedro Feliciano has a “damaged shoulder” that may require surgery. Today, Brian Cashman said that “it’s a strong possibility” the Yankees won’t have Feliciano this season. (via Jack Curry of YESNetwork).

Feliciano has a capsular tear in his shoulder which usually requires a significant recovery period.

Cashman was also asked about the possibility of pursuing another left-handed reliever. “Yeah, I’ll look,” said Cashman. “But I’m not going to find [a quality left-hander] too easily.” (via Curry).

Feliciano led the Majors in appearances the last three seasons with 86, 88 and 92 games respectively, including becoming only the fifth pitcher in Major League history to make 90 or more appearances. In 2010, he was 3-6 in 92 relief appearances over 62 2/3 innings pitched.
