David Bednar Status Uncertain for WBC Championship

Team USA reliever David Bednar may be unavailable for Tuesday's World Baseball Classic championship final due to pitch count considerations. Bednar threw 18 pitches in Sunday's semifinal victory. His status, along with fellow reliever Mason Miller, is being evaluated based on personal preference and communication between Team USA management and their respective MLB organizations, the Yankees and Padres, to ensure player health for the regular season.
