Yankees.com: Joba to face hitters in next rehab phase
NEW YORK—Joba Chamberlain has not pitched in a game in more than three weeks, but after playing catch and throwing bullpen sessions during his time on the disabled list, he can see an end in sight.
“There’s light,” Chamberlain said. “I see a little bit. It’s peeking through.”
Chamberlain threw a 45-pitch bullpen session on Thursday morning prior to the Yankees’ afternoon matchup against the Red Sox, and he said his arm strength has continued to progress with each step of his rehab.
“Just getting my arm going, it felt better,” he said. “As we continue to do this thing, it seems to get stronger.”
Since the Yankees are just playing out the string now, let’s hope for the healthy and effective returns of Joba and Hughes.
