Shawn Kelley (back) threw 20 fastballs and five sliders in the bullpen at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, his first time on the mound since his back locked up following an outing against the Angels on May 6. Kelley is scheduled to throw another bullpen session before going on a brief rehab assignment in the minor leagues.

Shawn Kelley (back) played catch from 75 feet Monday with no issues. It's a nice step, but it's not clear when Kelley will progress to mound work. The reliever is expected to be sidelined for another couple weeks.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Saturday that it would be "pretty close" to another two weeks before Shawn Kelley (back) returns from the disabled list. Kelley woke up with more stiffness in his back on Tuesday and hasn't thrown since. The setback means that he'll require an additional rehab game or two plus the bullpen sessions that were already planned before being activated. The reliever hasn't pitched in a game since May 6.

Shawn Kelley (back) is expected to return from the disabled list next week. He was initially expected to return on Sunday, though a recent setback due to back stiffness has pushed his return back a couple of days. He has been sidelined with the back issue since early May.

Shawn Kelley's (back) rehab has been halted after he woke up with stiffness Tuesday. Tests on Kelley's back are coming back clean, but he hasn't been able to get over the hump. It's not clear at this point how long he'll be shut down. The reliever has been sidelined since early May.

Yankees placed RHP Shawn Kelley on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 7, with a back injury. Kelley was expected to be available Monday night, but Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after the game that he wasn't ready yet. He has already been sidelined for a week, so he'll be eligible to return late next week if he can get back on track physically.

Shawn Kelley (back) remained unavailable to pitch in Monday's game. The Yankees had thought Kelley would be ready to go after being unavailable over the last week with a stiff back, but he's still feeling it. "(He's) still not right, manager Joe Girardi said. "He does not have the flexibility to finish his pitches." Consider Kelley day-to-day.

Shawn Kelley (back) is available to pitch Monday against the Mets. Kelley hasn't pitched since last Tuesday due back stiffness, but a precautionary MRI came back clean. He was actually warming up in the bullpen on Sunday and likely would have pitched if the game had gone to extra innings, so it sounds like he's over the issue.

Shawn Kelley collected his fourth save of the season in the Yankees' win over the Cubs in the first half of Wednesday's doubleheader. Kelley gave up a two-out single to Anthony Rizzo in the top of the ninth inning and then Rizzo advanced to second base on fielder's indifference, but Kelley rallied back to strike out Nate Schierholtz and end the threat. Kelley remains a must-own in all standard fantasy leagues until David Robertson returns from the disabled list.

Shawn Kelley sent down the Red Sox in order on Sunday, preserving a 3-2 victory over the Red Sox. It's the third save for Kelley this week who has done an admirable job filling in for closer David Robertson.
