closeJoba Chamberlain threw 35 pitches off the mound Saturday, giving the New York Yankees hope the right-hander will soon recover from the rotator cuff tendinitis that put him on the 15-day disabled list earlier this month.
"Everything felt good, felt pretty neat," he said. "I cut a couple loose. Nothing tightened up after I let one go."
Chamberlain, 22, has been on the disabled list since Aug. 6 and has not pitched since Aug. 4. He is 4-3 with a 2.63 ERA in 32 games, including 12 starts.
