  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Effective in second rehab outing

    Kahnle (shoulder) tossed a perfect inning in a rehab appearance with Single-A Tampa on Saturday, striking out one batter.

    Kahnle threw of 10 of 15 pitches for strikes in the appearance and got up to 95.5 mph with his sinker, per Conor Foley of YES Network. The veteran reliever has completed two of what is expected to be at least five rehab outings, pitching two perfect frames with three strikeouts thus far. If all goes well for Kahnle during the remainder of his rehab stint, he could join the major-league bullpen within the next two weeks.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Starting rehab assignment

    Kahnle (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Tampa on Wednesday.

    Kahnle has been out all season with a right shoulder issue that has been bothering him since late in the 2023 campaign. Because he's missed so much time, Kahnle will likely require at least five rehab outings before being activated from the 15-day injured list, according to Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Nearing rehab assignment

    Kahnle (shoulder) will throw a live batting-practice session Saturday and could begin a rehab assignment thereafter, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Kahnle has been throwing bullpens since mid-April and recently progressed to facing live hitters. The Yankees haven't yet established a firm plan for the veteran reliever, but it appears likely that he'll either have one more live BP after Saturday's session or move on to a minor-league rehab assignment. Kahnle was a key piece of the team's bullpen last season, posting a 2.66 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 48:19 K:BB over 40.2 innings while registering two saves and 14 holds.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Faces live hitters Saturday

    Kahnle (shoulder) threw 15 pitches against live hitters Saturday, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Kahnle began throwing bullpens April 12, and he has now progressed to live throwing sessions. The right-hander is expected to face live hitters again early this week, and he could go on a minor-league rehab assignment soon thereafter.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Close to facing hitters

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Kahnle (shoulder) will need to throw 1-to-2 more bullpen sessions before progressing to facing hitters, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Kahnle threw off the mound Tuesday for the second time since he had his rehab slowed because of a lingering shoulder issue. It would appear he should be ready for his first live batting practice session next week and he'll likely need at least a couple of those before being cleared for a rehab assignment.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Cleared for bullpen session

    Kahnle (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Kahnle has been working his way back from a right shoulder issue that first cropped up late last season. He should need a few bullpen sessions and/or live batting practice sessions before being cleared for a rehab assignment.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Will return to mound work soon

    Kahnle (shoulder) is slated to resume throwing in the bullpen during the upcoming week, per MLB.com.

    Kahnle ended last season on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, and the issue delayed his offseason throwing program, causing the Yankees to bring him along slowly during spring training. The veteran struggled to bounce back following a live throwing session in late March and subsequently had his throwing program slowed again, but he now appears set to resume a ramp-up. It's not yet clear when Kahnle may begin a rehab assignment, but it's still possible he can join the big-league bullpen by the end of April if he doesn't experience any further setbacks.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Proceeding with caution

    The Yankees have slowed Kahnle's (shoulder) throwing program after he struggled to bounce back from his last live session, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

    Kahnle hasn't been shut down from throwing, which is a good sign, but the club wants to make sure it doesn't push him too hard in his recovery. The training staff has yet to establish a date for the right-hander's rehab assignment.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Goes on IL

    The Yankees placed Kahnle (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

    Kahnle wasn't able to pitch in any Grapefruit League games after a bout with right shoulder inflammation delayed his throwing program over the offseason and put him well behind the Yankees' other pitchers at the start of spring training. The veteran righty should be close to facing hitters if he hasn't already, but he'll likely require multiple minor-league rehab appearances before he's ready to make his 2024 debut with the Yankees.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Likely to require IL stint

    Kahnle (shoulder) acknowledged Wednesday that he's unlikely to be ready for the start of the season, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

    Kahnle ended last season on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation, and he's behind schedule this spring after the injury took a little longer than expected to clear up. The reliever is throwing pain-free bullpen sessions and looks to be on track to make a Grapefruit League appearance or two later this month, but he won't quite be ready for Opening Day. Kahnle held a nifty 2.66 ERA and 48:19 K:BB over 40.2 innings in 2023. If healthy, Kahnle should be a key setup man again for the Yankees in 2024.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Being brought along slowly

    The Yankees are bringing Kahnle along slowly this spring after his 2023 season was ended due to right shoulder inflammation, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

    Kahnle appears to be healthy and has been throwing bullpen sessions, but manager Aaron Boone said Monday that the club might not put him into a Grapefruit League game until toward the end of spring. Boone would not commit to the reliever being ready for Opening Day, saying it depends on how many spring appearances he's able to make. Kahnle has had trouble staying healthy but has been terrific when on the mound, most recently putting up a 2.66 ERA and 48:19 K:BB over 40.2 frames in 2023.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Shelved with shoulder inflammation

    The Yankees placed Kahnle on the 15-day injured list Monday with right shoulder inflammation.

    Kahnle will be shut down for the final week of the regular season, but provided that his injury doesn't prove to be more significant that his current diagnosis of shoulder inflammation, he should be in store for a fairly normal offseason. The veteran righty finishes the 2023 campaign with one win, two saves and 14 holds to go with a 2.66 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 48:19 K:BB across 40.2 innings out of the New York bullpen.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Nabs save in nightcap

    Kahnle earned a save against the Red Sox in Game 2 of a twin bill Thursday, walking one batter and striking out four over two scoreless and hitless innings.

    Kahnle entered in the eighth inning with New York holding a one-run lead and retired the side in order. Clay Holmes has mostly handled closing duties for the Yankees this season, but with New York tacking on two additional runs in the top of the ninth and Kahnle at just 10 pitches, manager Aaron Boone elected to allow the veteran right-hander to close things out. He did so with ease, striking out three batters around a two-out walk in the final frame to notch his second save of the campaign. Kahnle has been a key piece of New York's bullpen this season, posting a 2.25 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 48:15 K:BB over 40 innings.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Picks up 10th hold

    Kahnle walked one batter and struck out one batter in one inning against the Astros on Saturday to register a hold.

    Kahnle worked the seventh frame, issuing a leadoff walk that was quickly wiped out by a double play. The veteran reliever needed 15 total pitches to get through the inning -- his third straight scoreless frame -- while preserving the Yankees' 2-1 lead. Kahnle has emerged as an important part of New York's bullpen since making his campaign debut after returning from injury at the start of June, registering 10 holds and one save while posting a 2.22 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB over 24.1 frames.

  • Yankees' Tommy Kahnle: Notches save Wednesday

    Kahnle earned a save against the Mariners on Wednesday, retiring both batters he faced, including one by strikeout.

    Clay Holmes has recently regained a hold on the Yankees' closer position, but he was held out Wednesday after tossing 21 pitches over 1.2 innings the previous night. That allowed Kahnle to get a save opportunity after Michael King allowed two of the first three batters he faced to reach base in the ninth, and the former got the job done by allowing a sacrifice fly before striking out Eugenio Suarez to end the contest. Kahnle didn't make his season debut until June 2 due to a biceps injury, but he's been outstanding since then, pitching 7.2 scoreless frames with a 9:1 K:BB over eight appearances. He's earned two holds and figures to be one of the team's top high-leverage relievers moving forward.
