HBT: Yankees' Nova leaves with leg injury

Ivan Nova was removed from Monday?s game in the sixth inning with a sprained right ankle.

Nova was hurt fielding a tapper near the mound and limped off the field afterwards. He was previously hit in the right foot by a Nick Markakis comebacker in the third, but the incident in the sixth was a new injury.

Nova was charged with five runs in 5 1/3 innings before departing. The Orioles snapped his 15-game winning streak by beating him 5-0 on May 2, but he won?t be involved in the decision tonight after leaving a 5-5 tie.

If Nova needs to miss his next start, Freddy Garcia, who has been relegated to mop-up duties since losing his rotation spot at the beginning of the month, could get the call in his place.
