NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — All right, let’s try this again.
Having made strides in his recovery from an arm problem, ace Masahiro Tanaka appears to be on pace to start for the Yankees against the Mariners in Seattle on either Tuesday or Wednesday, WFAN’s Sweeny Murti reported Thursday night.
Pitching in a rehab start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Tanaka, who has been out since April 23 with right forearm soreness and wrist tendinitis, allowed three earned runs and four hits over three innings against Pawtucket. Despite struggling, the Japanese right-hander got through the 62-pitch outing without any physical setbacks.
