Kluber (shoulder) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Wednesday and is expected to start throwing to live hitters following one additional bullpen session, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has now been out for over two months with a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder, but he appears to be moving closer to a return to the Yankees' rotation. His past two bullpen sessions have lasted 20 and 30 pitches, and he'll likely increase that number once more before facing live hitters. If he continues to progress without any setbacks, Kluber could return to the big club in late August or early September.
