The Yankees (67-39, 7.5 GA in AL East) finish their quick two-game set with the Arizona Diamondbacks (54-54, 15.5 GB in NL West) on Wednesday at 1:05 p.m. at Yankee Stadium.

Yankees notes

The Yankees placed Luke Voit on the IL with a sports hernia. He left Tuesday's game with what was described as a core muscle injury. ...CC Sabathia received a lubricant shot in his knee, and is expected to miss a few weeks. The big lefty is dealing with right knee inflammation. ...DJ LeMahieu is once again out of the lineup today, but Aaron Boone said he's expecting to use him on Friday when the Red Sox come to town.

Who is starting for the Yankees?

RHP Masahiro Tanaka (4.79 ERA/1.25 WHIP), who had an awful start against the Red Sox last time out. He allowed a season-high 12 runs on 12 hits (two homers) over 3.1 innings.

Tanaka said that he made a "drastic" change to the grip of his splitter, so we'll see if that has any effect today.

Who is starting for the D-backs?

RHP Zack Greinke (2.87 ERA/0.94), who was a name on the trade block, but it looks like he's staying in Arizona if he's out here on the mound today. He had a solid start against the Marlins last time out, allowing just on run on four hits over six innings of work.

Upcoming schedule

The Yankees will get an off day tomorrow as they prepare for some payback against the Red Sox, who come to the Bronx on Friday for a weekend series.
