Ivan Nova had to be removed from Thursday's ALDS Game 5 start after two innings due to forearm tightness.
Nova allowed back-to-back solo homers in the first inning but was appearing to settle in, so we figured something might be wrong with him physically. It's not clear at this point whether it might affect his availability for the ALCS. If it does, Bartolo Colon might be added to the roster. Girardi has used a parade of hurlers, including CC Sabathia, since Nova's exit.
