After a week of not pitching, Miguel Castro is going to be undergoing an MRI

NEW YORK (AP) — As the Yankees trickled into the clubhouse on Friday afternoon, preparing for the first game of a three-game series against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium, reliever Miguel Castro changed back into street clothes and exited.

According to Yankees manager Aaron Boone, the right-hander, who hasn’t pitched in almost a week, was leaving for an MRI on his right shoulder.

“He’s been barking a little shoulder wise and then warming up last night,” said Boone. “So, we’re going to send him in for an MRI to see what we’ve got.”

On Sunday, Castro gave up four runs (two earned) without recording an out at Fenway Park.

“It’s inevitable,” Boone said. “I feel optimistic on most of the things we’re talking about that have happened here recently that we’ll be able to get through them and have those guys still be a huge part of this. Knock on wood, we’ve been fairly healthy, I think for the most part. We’ve obviously had some guys go down, losing [Chad Green] for the season obviously was a big blow and we’ve had some other guys go down, we’ve gotten some other guys back. It’s all part of it.”
