Kahnle (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Tampa on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle has been out all season with a right shoulder issue that has been bothering him since late in the 2023 campaign. Because he's missed so much time, Kahnle will likely require at least five rehab outings before being activated from the 15-day injured list, according to Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger.

Kahnle (shoulder) will throw a live batting-practice session Saturday and could begin a rehab assignment thereafter, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle has been throwing bullpens since mid-April and recently progressed to facing live hitters. The Yankees haven't yet established a firm plan for the veteran reliever, but it appears likely that he'll either have one more live BP after Saturday's session or move on to a minor-league rehab assignment. Kahnle was a key piece of the team's bullpen last season, posting a 2.66 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 48:19 K:BB over 40.2 innings while registering two saves and 14 holds.

Kahnle (shoulder) threw 15 pitches against live hitters Saturday, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle began throwing bullpens April 12, and he has now progressed to live throwing sessions. The right-hander is expected to face live hitters again early this week, and he could go on a minor-league rehab assignment soon thereafter.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Kahnle (shoulder) will need to throw 1-to-2 more bullpen sessions before progressing to facing hitters, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle threw off the mound Tuesday for the second time since he had his rehab slowed because of a lingering shoulder issue. It would appear he should be ready for his first live batting practice session next week and he'll likely need at least a couple of those before being cleared for a rehab assignment.

Kahnle (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle has been working his way back from a right shoulder issue that first cropped up late last season. He should need a few bullpen sessions and/or live batting practice sessions before being cleared for a rehab assignment.

Kahnle (shoulder) is slated to resume throwing in the bullpen during the upcoming week, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle ended last season on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, and the issue delayed his offseason throwing program, causing the Yankees to bring him along slowly during spring training. The veteran struggled to bounce back following a live throwing session in late March and subsequently had his throwing program slowed again, but he now appears set to resume a ramp-up. It's not yet clear when Kahnle may begin a rehab assignment, but it's still possible he can join the big-league bullpen by the end of April if he doesn't experience any further setbacks.

The Yankees have slowed Kahnle's (shoulder) throwing program after he struggled to bounce back from his last live session, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle hasn't been shut down from throwing, which is a good sign, but the club wants to make sure it doesn't push him too hard in his recovery. The training staff has yet to establish a date for the right-hander's rehab assignment.

The Yankees placed Kahnle (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle wasn't able to pitch in any Grapefruit League games after a bout with right shoulder inflammation delayed his throwing program over the offseason and put him well behind the Yankees' other pitchers at the start of spring training. The veteran righty should be close to facing hitters if he hasn't already, but he'll likely require multiple minor-league rehab appearances before he's ready to make his 2024 debut with the Yankees.

Kahnle (shoulder) acknowledged Wednesday that he's unlikely to be ready for the start of the season, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle ended last season on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation and he's behind schedule this spring after the injury took a little longer than expected to clear up. The reliever is throwing pain-free bullpen sessions and looks to be on track to make a Grapefruit League appearance or two later this month, but he won't quite be ready for Opening Day. Kahnle held a nifty 2.66 ERA and 48:19 K:BB over 40.2 innings in 2023. If healthy, Kahnle should be a key setup man again for the Yankees in 2024.

The Yankees are bringing Kahnle along slowly this spring after his 2023 season was ended due to right shoulder inflammation, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle appears to be healthy and has been throwing bullpen sessions, but manager Aaron Boone said Monday that the club might not put him into a Grapefruit League game until toward the end of spring. Boone would not commit to the reliever being ready for Opening Day, saying it depends on how many spring appearances he's able to make. Kahnle has had trouble staying healthy but has been terrific when on the mound, most recently putting up a 2.66 ERA and 48:19 K:BB over 40.2 frames in 2023.
