Kluber (shoulder) is tentatively scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Before locking Kluber in for his first mound work since he landed on the injured list in late May, the Yankees will re-evaluate the right-hander Thursday. He's been throwing off flat ground for several weeks now, and he increased his distance to 120 feet in Wednesday's session. The Yankees are hopeful that the right-hander will be ready to return from the 60-day injured list at some point in September.

Kluber (shoulder) has advanced to throwing from 120 feet and could toss a bullpen session by the end of next week, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kluber last pitched May 25, when he was removed from his start due to what was later diagnosed as a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder. He was eventually transferred to the 60-day IL and isn't eligible to return until late July. Though he's unlikely to be ready when first eligible, Kluber's possible progression to mound work within a week signals a major step in his recovery. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran right-hander was enjoying a solid campaign, posting a 3.04 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 9.3 K/9 across 10 starts.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said last week that he doesn't expect Kluber (shoulder) to return from the 60-day injured list until September, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since being shut down in late May with a strained right shoulder, Kluber has progressed to throwing off flat ground from 75 feet. He'll likely need to come close to doubling that distance before the Yankees clear him for bullpen sessions, and he'll have several more checkpoints to hit in the rehab process before the organization hones in on a possible target date for his return. Any setbacks suffered along the way would seriously jeopardize Kluber's chances of pitching again in 2021.

Kluber (shoulder) has been throwing from 90 feet for about a week, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kluber had previously been throwing from 75 feet, so he is very slowly progressing through a program that projects to allow him to rejoin the Yankees sometime in mid- to late-August. He stated that he will advance to 120 feet "whenever they tell me to" and explained that he doesn't know of an exact return date. Per Meredith Marakovits of YES Network, Kluber is confident that he will be back at some point this season.

General manager Brian Cashman said Saturday that Kluber (shoulder) is not expected to rejoin the starting rotation until August or September, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kluber has been working his way back from a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder that has sidelined him since late May. He extended his throwing distance to 75 feet earlier this week but still figures to be a ways away from throwing off a mound. Cashman said the right-hander could return in August but noted that a September activation from the 60-day IL appears more likely at this point.

Kluber (shoulder) has extended his throwing distance to 75 feet, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kluber is still only playing catch, but he's made slight progress in his throwing program. He isn't eligible to return from the injured list until late July, but a better idea of his return timetable could become clear once he's able to resume mound work.

Kluber (shoulder) recently began a throwing program and is playing catch from 60 feet, Justin Shackil of SiriusXM reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander was transferred to the 60-day injured list in early June and is now in the early stages of his throwing program. Kluber won't be eligible to be activated until late July, so he has plenty of time to ramp things up before being able to rejoin the rotation.

The Yankees moved Kluber (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The move frees up a roster spot as Kluber, yet to begin a throwing program, still projects to return around late July. Infielder Chris Gittens was signed Saturday to fill Kluber's spot.

Kluber (shoulder) is expected to begin a throwing program soon, though his overall return timeline hasn't changed, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kluber was originally expected to be shut down from throwing for four weeks after being diagnosed with a shoulder strain in late May. While it now looks as though he'll be throwing within two weeks of being shut down, that evidently simply represents a change in how the Yankees intend to go about his rehab rather than a change in his overall timeline. He'll presumably be brought along very cautiously at the start of his throwing program, with a return date in late July still the most likely outcome.

Kluber (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kluber will be shut down from throwing for four weeks after he was diagnosed with a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder, so his placement on the injured list doesn't come as a surprise. Right-hander Albert Abreu was recalled by the Yankees as part of a corresponding move. Since Kluber will need to build his arm back up after being shut down, he'll likely miss most of July while he recovers.
