Right-hander Joba Chamberlain allowed an infield single in an otherwise uneventful and scoreless inning in his latest minor league rehab appearance for High-A Tampa. The baserunner was thrown out trying to steal second before Joba got ground balls to second and first to end the inning. It was his first set of back-to-back appearances during his rehab after throwing a scoreless inning last night. No word on his pitch count or velocity.
The plan now calls for Joba to meet the Yankees in New York so he can throw a bullpen session in front of the coaching staff. He could be activated shortly thereafter but no decision has been made yet. They need to see how he feels and stuff, plus he’ll probably get at least two and maybe three days off following the back-to-back. I’m guessing that if all goes well, he’ll rejoin the team on Monday. Just a guess though.
