Kahnle pitched a scoreless inning against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle had been out all season with a biceps injury before he was activated Thursday. The veteran reliever made his campaign debut against the team for which he played last year, though a forearm injury limited him to just 13 regular-season appearances with Los Angeles. Kahnle handled a pretty hefty workload Friday, tossing 29 pitches (17 strikes) and fanning James Outman after allowing a two-out double followed by a walk. The right-hander will likely get a chance to work in high-leverage situations for the Yankees pretty quickly, but with only 15 big-league games under his belt since 2019, he may not pitch in back-to-back contests for awhile.

The Yankees activated Kahnle (biceps) from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle will join the Yankees' bullpen ahead of their three-game weekend series at Dodger Stadium after missing the first two months of the 2023 regular season due to lingering right biceps tendinitis. He signed a two-year, $11.5 million free-agent contract with New York over the winter and could potentially pitch his way into a share of the team's unsettled closer role.

Kahnle (biceps) is headed to Los Angeles to join the Yankees for their weekend series against the Dodgers, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle joins Josh Donaldson (hamstring) and Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) as Yankees expected to return from the injured list this weekend. The reliever has been out all year with right biceps tendinitis but has looked sharp on his rehab assignment, yielding one run with a 6:3 K:BB over five frames.

Kahnle (biceps) could rejoin the Yankees' bullpen for next weekend's series against the Dodgers, manager Aaron Boone told Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle indicated earlier this week that he should be ready to go following a third rehab appearance Thursday, but evidently the Yankees want him to knock a little more rust off. The reliever hasn't allowed a hit or a run in three rehab innings, striking out two and walking one. Kahnle has been out all season with right biceps tendinitis.

Kahnle (biceps) will make one more rehab appearance Thursday with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle has made two scoreless appearances so far and, presuming Thursday's outing goes well, figures to be cleared to rejoin the Yankees' bullpen. The right-hander has been out all season with right biceps tendinitis.

Kahnle (biceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Tampa on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle has been out all season with right biceps tendinitis but has been throwing off a mound lately without issue. He is eligible for activation May 29 and should have a shot to return on that day.

Kahnle (biceps) threw another bullpen session Thursday without issue, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle might do one more side session before he heads out on a minor-league rehab assignment, per Yankees manager Aaron Boone. The situation can be slow-played because Kahnle is currently on the 60-day IL with right biceps tendinitis and isn't eligible for activation until May 29.

Kahnle (biceps) is closing in on a rehab assignment, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle will throw another bullpen session Thursday and it sounds like he could begin a rehab assignment after that. He is expected to require 4-6 rehab appearances before being activated, setting him up to return in late May or early June if all goes well.

Kahnle (biceps) threw a 15-pitch bullpen session at Target Field on Wednesday, and he'll throw another side session Sunday in Texas, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle said after his bullpen session Wednesday that he "felt great," but he will now need to see how he responds to the session in the coming days before the Yankees determine his next steps. The 33-year-old has yet to make his season debut after being diagnosed with right biceps tendinitis during spring training. Once healthy, Kahnle should be a middle-innings option out of the bullpen, but he'll likely make multiple rehab appearances before he's eligible to return from the 60-day injured list in late May.

Kahnle (biceps) has been playing catch and expects to throw from a mound within a week, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Kahnle is dealing with right biceps tendinitis and is on the 60-day IL. The veteran reliever appears to be progressing in his throwing program, however, and moving on to mound work will be a significant step toward a return. Kahnle will likely take his time to ramp up since he isn't eligible to be activated from the injured list until late May.
