RHP James Kaprielian (elbow inflammation) is expected to return to the mound in 4-6 weeks, Hal Steinbrenner told Brendan Kuty. The Yankees said they will be conservative with their top pitching prospect, so I’m guessing it’ll be closer to six weeks than four. That puts Kaprielian on target for a late-June return.
