Michael Pineda arrested for DUI

Injured Yankees starting pitcher Michael Pineda has been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in Tampa, Fla. early Monday morning, the New York Post reports. From the report:

Pineda, 23, "had a fixed gaze and his eyes were bloodshot, watery and glassy," a Tampa police officer wrote after pulling the 23-year-old hurler over at 2:35 a.m. on North Dale Mabry Highway.

"I could smell a distinct odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath, and his speech was slurred," the cop wrote about Pineda.
The Post also notes that Pineda's blood-alcohol level was .128 and .125 in two separate tests. Pineda was released on a $500 bond around noon Monday.

Pineda is out for the entire 2012 season as he's rehabbing from shoulder surgery. He came over to the Yankees in a trade on January 23 with Jose Campos in exchange for Jesus Montero and Hector Noesi.

Last season, for Seattle, the 6-foot-7 Pineda was 9-10 with a 3.74 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 173 strikeouts in 171 innings pitched. He rode a hot start (6-2, 2.16 in his first nine starts) to an All-Star Game trip, but faded down the stretch a bit. Still, he's only 23 years old and has tons of promise.
