Michael Pineda (shoulder) could begin throwing from a full mound as soon as next week.
Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild said Thursday that Pineda hasn't had any setbacks during his recent sessions off a half-mound. Throwing off a full mound will be a big step in his rehab process, but he's still months away from pitching for the Yankees. The best-case scenario is that he returns around midseason.
