NEW YORK, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Roger Clemens may have made the final appearance of his Hall of Fame career after the Yankees took him off their ALDS roster Monday.
The Yankees replaced Clemens on their AL Division Series roster with reliever Ron Villone, but if they are eliminated Monday night by Cleveland that move will be moot.
A team can replace an injured player during the division round, but that player is ineligible for the championship series. Clemens could not return to action this post-season unless the Yankees make the World Series.
Clemens left Sunday's playoff game against Cleveland due to a strained left hamstring. Clemens, who was making his 12th career Division Series start and ninth ALDS start, was removed after striking out Victor Martinez for the first out of the third inning.
The Yankees won that game to force a fourth game Monday in the Division Series.
The 45-year-old, seven-time Cy Young Award winner was making his first start Sunday since Sept. 16 due to a similar injury
