TAMPA, Fla. — New York Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain has started throwing off a half-mound as part of a rehabilitation program after elbow ligament replacement surgery.
Chamberlain threw at the Yankees’ minor league complex in Florida on Friday. The right-hander said the session on the 5-inch mound, which New York pitching coach Larry Rothschild and Team Vice President Billy Connors watched, went well.
Chamberlain is expected to rejoin the Yankees at some point this season.
