New York Yankees SP Michael Pineda said he felt fine after he tossed 20 pitches during his first batting practice session Sunday, March 1.

Fantasy Tip: Pineda is being counted on to be a big contributor to New York's starting rotation, despite missing the bulk of the last three seasons due to multiple shoulder injuries. Depending on how he fares this spring, he could be worth a late-round flier in AL-only leagues and should be monitored in mixed leagues.

New York Yankees SP Michael Pineda has been working at the Yankees' facility since Jan. 28, and he's supposed to throw his first bullpen session, one that will include breaking balls, Friday, Feb. 13. "I want to be healthy and strong," Pineda said. "I want to be ready for 200 innings." Last year was his first healthy season with the Yankees, and he pitched 76.1 innings after failing to throw a pitch for the major league club in 2012 or 2013.

New York Yankees SP Michael Pineda looked really good in his win over the Kansas City Royals Monday, Aug. 25, in which he threw 95 pitches and attacked the strike zone consistently. Pineda has walked only one batter in 17 1/3 innings since returning from the disabled list. "I hadn't thrown 95 pitches before and I had very good energy in the seventh inning," he said. "I'm happy with that. I'm feeling good. I have good power in my arm. I'm happy with that."

The New York Yankees activated SP Michael Pineda (shoulder) from the 60-day disabled list Wednesday, Aug. 13, and designated P Chris Leroux for assignment in a corresponding move.

Fantasy Tip: Pineda will return to make the start on the road against the Baltimore Orioles tonight. It's not the best day to throw him into daily lineups immediately. However, he should be picked up in the majority of leagues for the stretch run.

New York Yankees SP Michael Pineda (shoulder) will be activated to start against the Baltimore Orioles Wednesday, Aug. 13. It'll be his first outing in the majors since April 23.

Fantasy Tip: Pineda should be picked up in the majority of leagues now that he's healthy. He can provide you with a needed pitching boost down the stretch. Starting him immediately Wednesday against the O's seems unwise, though.

No official decision has been made regarding whether New York Yankees SP Michael Pineda (shoulder) will return to the starting rotation. Ideally, manager Joe Girardi wants Pineda to be capable of throwing at least 90 pitches per start.

Fantasy Tip: If Pineda rejoins the rotation, he could start Wednesday, Aug. 13. He should be owned in most AL-only leagues and is a viable option for many deep mixed leagues.

Updating previous reports, New York Yankees SP Michael Pineda (shoulder) is expected to return to start Wednesday, Aug. 13. He's set to throw 75-80 pitches in his rehab start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre Friday, Aug. 8.

Fantasy Tip: Pineda is a fringe mixed league waiver pickup but should be owned in AL-only leagues.
