BIG NEWS FOR PINEDA, PRONK & JOBA

I know... it sounds like a really bad Law firm.  It's not...it's a bunch of injured Yankees.

We've been waiting for any good news about Michael Pineda.  Well, we have some. Check this out:

Michael Pineda: According to Jack Curry HERE, Pineda could throw up to 50 pitches today.  The goal is to get him up past the 65 mark and then the Yankees plan on getting him into a rehab game. If all is well with that, we will see this guy actually pitch in pinstripes this summer. I predict another setback.  Sorry... just don't know what to make of this guy yet.

Travis Hafner: You remember the shoulder situation from late last week, early this week right? We wrote about it in CONCERN ABOUT HAFNER'S SHOULDER?   We were under the impression that Pronk would be OK but there was still some pain.  The update is HERE from our friend Meredith Marakovits.  If there is no pain in that shoulder during BP, he'll be back. Expect him back this weekend.  I am predicting Sunday... but what the hell do I know.

Joba Chamberlain: Joba Chamberlain has a strained oblique. Bryan Hoch from MLB.com HERE says they believe that Joba will need to give them 1 more start in AAA before deciding to bring him back to the big club.

If anything else happens, we'll bring it to you.
