And no, I don't think the Yankees go after Dallas Keuchel or Gio Gonzalez in this situation. In a panic, they are going to pay top dollar for either of those guys and, barring injury, they are going to be stuck with sending CC to the bullpen or going with six starters.

Instead, why not hand the ball to those aforementioned (and doubted) three: Luis Cessa, Jonathan Loaisiga and Domingo German? If one of them is any good, now is the time to show it. Cessa and German are not spring chickens - all the more reason to step up now - and Loaisiga seems to have more talent than the other two.

EDIT: Here's another interesting prospect that I just read about. "Boone said that on 'certain occasions,' the Yankees would consider using an 'opener' to start games this season." Considering how stacked their bullpen is now, that certainly seems to be an option.
