Via Marc Carig and Bryan Hoch, Ivan Nova has a Grade I flexor strain in his right forearm. The right-hander left last night’s game with soreness and went for an MRI today. The injury is expected to heal on its own without complications this winter and allow him to be ready for Spring Training, but obviously this is something that would have kept Nova off the mound had the Yankees advanced to the ALDS.
If you want to freak out, remember that Joba Chamberlain was diagnosed with a strained flexor before needing Tommy John surgery.
