Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Thursday that Joba Chamberlain (oblique) needs at least one more rehab appearance before coming off the disabled list.

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

Joba Chamberlain (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Tuesday.

The Yankees were hoping Chamberlain would be ready for activation on Monday, the first day he's eligible, but obviously that's not going to happen. He should return later this week, though, as long as he doesn't have a setback.

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

Yankees manager Joe Girardi is hoping that Joba Chamberlain (oblique) will return from the disabled list on May 13.

Chamberlain has played catch but has yet to tests things out from a mound. "Until he gets off the mound and turns it up a little bit, you’re really not going to know," Girardi said. It's not clear if Chamberlain will require a rehab assignment.

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

Yankees placed RHP Joba Chamberlain on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 28, with an oblique strain.

He suffered the injury while making warmup throws Tuesday. Chamberlain has posted a decent 3.86 ERA in 9 1/3 innings this season despite struggling with his control. He will likely be sidelined for a full three weeks.

May 2 - 2:49 PM

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

Joba Chamberlain tallied his first save of the season Saturday as the Yankees defeated the Blue Jays.

Mariano Rivera was used heavily this week, so the Yankees decided to give Joba a shot and he scattered two hits over a scoreless ninth. Chamberlain has a 3.86 ERA.

Apr 27 - 7:20 PM

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

George A. King III of the New York Post reports that Don Welke, a senior special assistant to Rangers general manager Jon Daniels, scouted Joba Chamberlain on Monday.

It doesn't necessarily mean anything, but the Yankees have some bullpen depth and Chamberlain is due to become a free agent after the season. For what it's worth, ESPN's Buster Olney has speculated that Craig Gentry could be a fit in a potential deal.

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

Yankees and RHP Joba Chamberlain avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.875 million contract.

Joba posted a 4.35 ERA and 22/6 K/BB ratio in 20 2/3 innings last season for the Yankees after returning from major elbow and ankle injuries. The 27-year-old right-hander was arbitration-eligible for the final time. If he's not locked up, he'll hit the free agent market in November.

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

Joba Chamberlain (elbow) could be available to pitch in Friday's Game 5.

Chamberlain was injured Thursday after being hit by a broken bat. "If there is not a lot of swelling in there, my guess is that I'll have him today," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

Joba Chamberlain has been diagnosed with a contusion on his right elbow.

X-rays on the right-hander's pitching elbow came back negative. Chamberlain was injured Thursday after being hit by a broken bat. He should be considered day-to-day.

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

Joba Chamberlain exited Thursday's game against the Orioles after being hit in the right elbow by a broken bat.

Matt Wieters singled while leading off the 12th, but his broken bat caught Joba's elbow. The right-hander had a huge welt right away and, although he wanted to remain in the game after throwing a few warm-up pitches, the Yankees thought better of it. It shouldn't be a long-term issue, but Joba likely won't be available for a few days, at least.

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

Joba Chamberlain struck out four of the six batters he faced in a relief appearance Sunday.

Chamberlain was in danger of being demoted near the end of August, but he has looked much better recently. "Joba’s last three outings, he’s taken a step in the right direction," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi.

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

According to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News, the Yankees are considering demoting Joba Chamberlain.

Chamberlain has really struggled since returning from Tommy John surgery and a right ankle dislocation, posting a 9.35 ERA and 4/4 K/BB ratio over 6 2/3 innings. The Yankees need to make a move to activate CC Sabathia (elbow) from the disabled list, so sending Chamberlain down to the minors for 10 days might not be the worst idea. He would return when rosters expand in September.

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

Making his 2012 debut, Joba Chamberlain allowed two runs and four hits in 1 2/3 innings out of the pen Wednesday against the Orioles.

Chamberlain gave up a homer to the first batter he faced, J.J. Hardy, in his first appearance since coming off the disabled list Tuesday. He was able to escape the seventh despite allowing two more hits, but he gave up a second run in the eighth on a walk and a double.

Wed, Aug 1, 2012 04:59:00 PM

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

Yankees activated RHP Joba Chamberlain from the 60-day disabled list.

Chamberlain will return to the Yankees' bullpen on Tuesday night after missing nearly 14 months because of Tommy John elbow surgery and a severe ankle dislocation. The 26-year-old right-hander is likely going to be eased back into high-leverage situations but could be a dangerous relief option down the stretch.

Joba Chamberlain - R - Yankees

The Yankees might activate Joba Chamberlain (elbow, ankle) from the disabled list on Tuesday.

Chamberlain has looked pretty sharp in recent rehab outings and is apparently ready to contribute to the Yankees' bullpen after missing close to 14 months with elbow and ankle injuries. He hasn't appeared in a major league game since June 5, 2011.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Francisco Cervelli D.L. Francisco Cervelli will have the stitches removed from his right hand Tuesday. Cervelli fractured his hand late last month when he was struck by a foul tip. His cast is expected to come off in three weeks while he's about five weeks away from baseball activities. Chris Stewart and Austin Romine will continue to split catching duties for now. May 7
	2	Chris Stewart Sidelined The New York Post confirms Chris Stewart (groin) will not be placed on the disabled list. Stewart injured himself when he slid into third base awkwardly during Thursday's game, but he's not expected to miss more than 2-3 days. An MRI on Friday ruled out structural damage and the Yankees are listing him as day-to-day. May 18
	3	Austin Romine
1B	1	Mark Teixeira D.L. Mark Teixeira (wrist) is aiming to return from the disabled list on May 30 or 31. "It's great -- I couldn't be happier with my rehab," Teixeira said. "I'm looking at the end of May, sometime around the 30th or 31st maybe, to get back out there playing with the Yankees. I'm feeling great." Teixeira has been taking batting practice in the cages but still needs to take live BP on the field. "I would say the next step would be some live BP; we're not there yet," manager Joe Girardi said. "Then maybe some sim games, hopefully, then some rehab games. That's the progression, but we're still in the BP phase." May 15
	2	Lyle Overbay
2B	1	Robinson Cano
	2	Alberto Gonzalez
SS	1	Derek Jeter D.L. Derek Jeter (ankle) is close to getting the walking boot on his left foot removed again. Jeter had a routine checkup recently and was told his left ankle is healing. Once the boot is removed, he'll be eased into baseball activities again. The future Hall of Famer won't be an option at shortstop for the Yankees until after the All-Star break. May 16
	2	Eduardo Nunez D.L. Yankees placed SS Eduardo Nunez on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 6, with a rib cage injury. Nunez recently resumed swinging a bat, but he's obviously still not feeling well enough to be playing. The Yankees will continue to roll with Jayson Nix at shortstop, with Alberto Gonzalez getting called up to provide infield depth. May 12
	3	Jayson Nix
	4	Reid Brignac
3B	1	Alex Rodriguez D.L. Alex Rodriguez (hip) hit off a tee and ran Wednesday in a 40-man workout at the Yankees' complex in Tampa. Rodriguez was cleared for baseball activities last weekend and is now easing into heavy workouts down in Florida. The veteran third baseman is not targeting a specific return date but should be available sometime around the All-Star break if everything goes according to plan. He is on his way back from January hip surgery. May 9
	2	Kevin Youkilis D.L. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Kevin Youkilis (back) will take batting practice "pretty soon." Youkilis has hit off a tee and taken soft-toss and is nearing the next step. The Yankees haven't set a timetable for his return, but it's looking like he'll probably be back sometime in late May or early June. May 17
	3	David Adams
LF	1	Curtis Granderson
	2	Vernon Wells
CF	1	Brett Gardner
RF	1	Ichiro Suzuki
	2	Ben Francisco
DH	1	Travis Hafner
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	CC Sabathia
	2	Hiroki Kuroda
	3	Andy Pettitte D.L. Yankees placed LHP Andy Pettitte on the 15-day disabled list with a strained trapezius muscle. Pettitte suffered the injury during Thursday's start against the Mariners. It's believed to be minor, but the Yankees don't want to take any chances with the 40-year-old southpaw. Vidal Nuno is slated to replace him on the active roster and will likely get a start or two. May 17
	4	Phil Hughes
	5	Ivan Nova D.L. Yankees manager Joe Girardi indicated that Ivan Nova (triceps, side) is slated to pitch Monday in Tampa. Nova, currently sidelined with triceps inflammation, experienced discomfort in his upper back while playing catch over the weekend. However, it apparently wasn't a major setback. The assumption is that he'll pitch in extended spring training on Monday, though there's nothing official on that yet. David Phelps will continue to fill his spot in the rotation for now. May 16
	6	David Phelps
	7	Michael Pineda D.L. Michael Pineda (shoulder) is scheduled to throw 50 pitches Friday, either in extended spring training or an intrasquad game. Yankees manager Joe Girardi didn't disclose any plans about a rehab assignment, but he expects Pineda to pitch in the majors at some point this summer. "We’ll continue to build him up," said Girardi. "Starters, as you know, take a lot longer than relievers because you have to get them to 100 pitches. For a kid that hasn’t pitched in a couple of years, that’s something you may want to see a couple of times to make sure he’s ready to go every fifth day." May 16
	8	Vidal Nuno
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Mariano Rivera
	2	David Robertson
	3	Boone Logan
	4	Joba Chamberlain D.L. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Thursday that Joba Chamberlain (oblique) needs at least one more rehab appearance before coming off the disabled list. Chamberlain gave up two hits in a scoreless frame Tuesday night for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but the Yankees think he needs more work before returning. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since late April with an oblique strain. May 16
	5	Shawn Kelley
	6	Adam Warren
	7	Cesar Cabral D.L. Cesar Cabral (elbow) threw a scoreless inning Wednesday in an extended spring training game. Cabral worked around a single by Delmon Young to complete the frame. The 24-year-old left-hander missed all of 2012 with a stress fracture in his elbow. It's not clear when he'll begin an official minor league rehab assignment. Apr 17
	8	Preston Claiborne
	9	Dellin Betances
