Joba Chamberlain began his rehab assignment on Tuesday and he struck out two batters in his one inning of work. This was his first minor league appearance since undergoing elbow surgery. Chamberlain allowed no hits and he threw 23 pitches in the Gulf Coast League Yankees. His fastball clocked around 98 MPH.
Joba Chamberlain underwent season ending Tommy John Surgery last season and he was on target to return in June, but that was unlikely as he sustained a dislocated ankle after a trampoline accident.
Assuming that their on no setbacks, Chamberlain could be back in the majors sometime in August. The Yankees will put him on a 30-day rehab assignment.
The Yankees bullpen currently ranks 6th among the American League with a 3.20 ERA.
