Joba back will be back sooner rather than later

yankeechick Posts: 51	Cashman: Chamberlain ahead of schedule 07/24/2012 2:45 PM ET By Jon Lane Tweet Facebook Fan Comments Print Email Brian Cashman is thrilled with Joba Chamberlain's recovery from Tommy John surgery and a dislocated ankle. So much so he's projecting a return to the Yankees sooner than when his 30-day rehab clock expires on August 6. “Joba’s out of control,” said Cashman on WFAN's Boomer and Carton Tuesday morning. “The stuff he’s featuring is remarkable. He’s as high as 100 (mph) but upwards consistently (at) 96, 97, 98. He looks really good. “He’s an amazing guy. He’s been hurt, he gets hurt a lot, but then his recovery time is like super-human — always beats the standard. So yeah, he’s due back here shortly. I mean, the worst-case scenario would be the first week of August, but he should be here ahead of that.” Chamberlain last pitched on Fridayfor the Class-A Tampa Yankees in Bradenton, his fourth rehab appearance. He threw 32 pitches (19 strikes) over two innings while allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits with a walk and one strikeout. He is expected to work in back-to-back games this week, likely the final hurdle before he's cleared to resume his role in the Yankees bullpen.

They said last week that they were going to do that this week. If he throws back to back and feels good, then they're satisfied that he's good to go. It sure will be good to get him back.

BigGuy Posts: 66,015	Joba throws a perfect inning in latest minor league rehab appearance By Mike Axisa Right-hander Joba Chamberlain retired all three batters he faced in his latest rehab appearance for High-A Tampa tonight. He got a fly ball to left, a pop-up to second, and a ground ball to second. No word on his velocity or pitch count, but chances are we’ll get a report before the end of the night as usual. Erik Boland reports that the plan is for Joba to pitch again tomorrow night, assuming he comes through tonight’s appearance fine. It will be the first time he’ll pitch in back-to-back games during his rehab. The other day we heard that he could be activated before the end of the month if he comes through the back-to-back well. Fingers crossed, Joba’s getting very close to returning to the team. "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."
