Boone Logan (elbow) made his Grapefruit League debut on Tuesday, tossing a scoreless inning of work.

Despite it being his first outing of the spring, Logan said he felt like he was in midseason form. The veteran southpaw appeared in a league-high 80 games with the Yankees in 2012, and will again operate as their primary left-handed specialist. He'll be fine for Opening Day.

Boone Logan (elbow) is hoping to make his Grapefruit League debut this week.

Logan has been injured since the start of spring training with soreness in his pitching elbow. As a reliever, he won't need much time to get ready for Opening Day if he can avoid setbacks. The 28-year-old left-hander posted a 3.74 ERA and 68 strikeouts in 55 1/3 innings last season and led the AL with 80 appearances.

Boone Logan (elbow) threw a pain-free bullpen session Sunday.

It's his first since he developed soreness in his pitching elbow a couple weeks ago. As long as he doesn't have a setback, Logan will have time to get ready for Opening Day.
Mar 10 - 8:36 AM

Boone Logan (elbow) expects to resume throwing off a mound by the middle of next week.

Logan is dealing with a sore pitching elbow, but an MRI has ruled out structural damage. He should have enough time to get ready for Opening Day as long as he doesn't have a setback.
Mar 3 - 11:02 AM

Boone Logan has a sore left elbow that forced him to skip a scheduled simulated game on March 2.

An MRI of the elbow showed no damage, so Logan will just require a few days' rest. Logan, 28, has yet to pitch this spring, but it's still too early to know about his availability for Opening Day. The left-handed reliever had a 3.74 ERA and 68 strikeouts in 55 1/3 innings last year for the Yankees.
Mar 2 - 4:25 PM

Boone Logan long-tossed Thursday with a white sleeve on his pitching elbow and later had the elbow wrapped while in the locker room.

It would indicate that the left-hander is dealing with some soreness, but the Yankees haven't provided much detail. "We are being cautious with him,’’ pitching coach Larry Rothschild said of Logan. "We have decided to slow him down and make sure he catches up before we give him too much.’’
Feb 15 - 2:49 PM

Yankees avoided arbitration with LHP Boone Logan by agreeing to a one-year, $3.15 million contract.

It's a nice score for Logan, who is in his final year of arbitration eligibility. The southpaw has put up a 3.42 ERA over the last three years for the Yankees and will be used as a lefty specialist again in 2013.
Jan 18 - 1:28 PM

Boone Logan (back) expects to be available to pitch Friday.

Logan underwent an MRI on his back Wednesday, which came back negative, so he should be fine as long as he doesn't have a setback. The 27-year-old southpaw posted a 3.48 ERA and 46/13 K/BB ratio over 41 2/3 innings in 2011.

Boone Logan underwent an MRI on his back Wednesday, which came back negative.

Good news. Logan went for the exam after coming down with back spasms, but there's a good chance he'll be on the Opening Day roster if his symptoms improve over the next two days. The 27-year-old southpaw posted a 3.48 ERA and 46/13 K/BB ratio over 41 2/3 innings in 2011.

Boone Logan is being sent for an MRI on his back.

The Yankees haven't provided any details about the exact nature or the severity of the injury, but that he's being sent for an MRI suggests that there's at least some concern. Clay Rapada's chances of making the Opening Day roster just went up.

Boone Logan went to a doctor Wednesday morning after showing up to the ballpark with a back problem.

The severity of the issue isn't yet known. However, the situation could convince Yankees manager Joe Girardi that carrying Clay Rapada as a second left-hander out of the bullpen is the way to go.

Boone Logan (neck) threw a scoreless fifth inning in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.

It's not a major concern and Logan could still pitch Sunday. The 27-year-old is expected to serve as the Yanks' primary left-handed specialist again this season after posting a 3.48 ERA and 46/13 K/BB ratio over 41 2/3 innings in 2011.
