Joba Chamberlain Ahead of Schedule

Joba Chamberlain is progressing faster than most people could have thought from his ankle injury that he suffered from a trampoline accident with his son. Chamberlain also is still recovering from Tommy John surgery that has sidelined him since last season.

Joba threw 25 pitches today down in Tampa. He also ran some sprints in the outfield.

Joba Chamberlain and the Yankees are hoping that he will make a quick recovery and hopefully be back by August.
