Though he remains far from a return to pitching in big-league games, Britton's progression to mound work will be a significant step in his recovery from March surgery.

Britton underwent surgery in mid-March to remove bone chips from his left elbow. According to manager Aaron Boone, the reliever started his throwing program last week at Yankee Stadium and is doing well.

"Now it's starting to ramp up."
