Yankees to be without Chamberlain
Posted on April 14th, 2008 - 2:06 pm by BaseballTalkOnline
Following Sunday night’s loss to the Red Sox, Joba Chamberlain left the Yankees to be with his ailing father in Nebraska. Chamberlain’s sister called the Yankees during the eighth inning of last night’s game to tell them of the incident with their father.
The Yankees placed Chamberlain on the bereavement list, meaning he’ll have to be away from the team for at least three days. Chamberlain will be away from the team until his father’s condition is resolved.
Jonathan Albaladejo was recalled from Triple-A to take Chamberlain’s place on the roster while he is away.
