Yankees' Pineda takes the next step in rehab process

TAMPA — Pitching has been the reason the Yankees have thrived into the middle of the season’s second month, even with Andy Pettitte, Ivan Nova and Joba Chamberlain on the disabled list.

Injury updates: Pineda, Teixeira, Youkilis, Nova

I didn’t get to Tampa early enough to actually see any of today’s action over at the minor league complex, so it’s a good thing Brian Cashman is still taking my calls.

Injury roundup: Nova first, Youk, Joba later

The Yankees have so many players injured, resting, rehabbing and healing that it's difficult even for their GM to keep track of it all.

Montero sent down by M's

The Michael Pineda trade is improving. Slightly. Jesus Montero, who is batting .208, has struggled to the point he is being sent down by the Seattle Mariners. From the Herald Tribune: Catcher Jesus Montero will be sent to Triple-A Tacoma, while catcher Jesus Sucre will be selected from the Rainiers. Double-A back-up catcher Brandon Bantz, who was serving as the starter in Jackson after John Hicks suffered a groin injury and went on the DL, is already headed to Tacoma to serve as Mike Zunino's backup.

Replacement level

The Yankees disabled list has the 15th-highest payroll in baseball, so it’s little surprise that the past month-plus has been defined by the team’s ability to sustain and withstand injuries. The Yankees have 10 players on the disabled list, but two of those are Michael Pineda and Cesar Cabral, each of whom missed all of last season as well. The bulk [...]The post Replacement level appeared first on The LoHud Yankees Blog. The LoHud Yankees Blog | Journal News

Ten men out

When spring training opened, the Yankees already knew they’d open the season with Cesar Cabral, Michael Pineda and Alex Rodriguez on the disabled list. Then Curtis Granderson broke his forearm in his first spring at-bat. Mark Teixeira left for the World Baseball Classic and came back with a torn tendon sheath. Derek Jeter‘s slim hope [...]The post Ten men out appeared first on The LoHud Yankees Blog. The LoHud Yankees Blog | Journal News

Pineda throwing 95 in Tampa

While Alex Rodriguez has been cleared for baseball activities, the biggest eye-popping lines from the story are these: Michael Pineda, who missed all of last season after shoulder surgery, pitched Thursday, reaching as fast as 95-MPH, according to Yankees GM Brian Cashman. "So he had a good physical day," Cashman said. Cashman told me the other day that Pineda should be ready for a rehab assignment this month. By sometime in June, Pineda could be in the majors.
