It’s an Epidemic!

J.A. Happ goes on the disabled list with Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease:

One of the New York Yankees’ newest additions, left-handed pitcher J.A. Happ, went on the 10-day disabled list Thursday (retroactive to Monday) after being diagnosed earlier this week with what general manager Brian Cashman called a “mild” case of hand, foot and mouth disease.

“The blistering you get from this, it hasn’t died down yet. So he’s still in that viral stage of things,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “He’s feeling better [Wednesday] and [Thursday], but wasn’t probably going to legitimately be able to be around our team until it completely runs its course. And he’s not at that point yet.”

That the second New York pitcher to go on the disabled list with the disease in the last couple of weeks. I blame Bill de Blasio.
