Clint Frazier (concussion) continues progressing, according to Aaron Boone. The Yankees OF is "working out full bore" with the Yankees' affiliate in Tampa on Thursday night, per Boone. He'll be taking batting practice and doing some defensive work. Perhaps "in the very near future" he'll appear in games, Boone said. He also said Greg Bird (ankle) and Brandon Drury (blurred vision are taking positive steps getting on-field work, too. "So hopefully guys are starting to tread in the right way, and obviously looking forward to getting a lot of those guys back in the mix."

Aaron Boone said today the MRI that right-handed reliever Tommy Kahnle had this week revealed bicep tendinitis and some shoulder tendinitis. The team doesn't believe the injury is serious, but Kahnle will be shut down the next 10 days or so. Said Boone: "It could be something that's a few weeks before he's back." Kahnle's velocity had been going down slightly in recent appearances. The Yankees hope when he returns, his pitch speed will, too.
