Pineda’s season ends

New York Yankees starter Michael Pineda (pictured right) will miss the entire season without pitching in a game because of a tear in the labrum of his right shoulder. The Yankees said the right-hander will have arthroscopic surgery Tuesday in New York and be out for about a year. “It’s a loss,” manager Joe Girardi said Wednesday. “He was a guy that we were counting on this year. We traded for him, and unfortunately he’s hurt.” New York acquired Pineda from Seattle in January, giving up top catching prospect Jesus Montero to get the 23-year-old All-Star pitcher. Pineda felt weakness in his shoulder during an extended spring training game Saturday, which came three weeks after he had problems in a spring training start. – Associated Press
