Tommy Kahnle Likely To Open On Injured List
9 months agoNew York Yankees right-handed reliever Tommy Kahnle (shoulder) felt no pain in his right shoulder during a bullpen session in camp on Wednesday, but he acknowledged he's behind the other relievers and isn't likely to be included on the Opening Day roster. Kahnle's shoulder inflammation took longer to clear up in the offseason, so he started his throwing program around two weeks late. The 34-year-old also ended the 2023 campaign on the injured list due to right-shoulder inflammation. When healthy, Kahnle was a key part of New York's bullpen, recording a 2.66 ERA, a 1.11 WHIP, two saves, 19 walks and 48 strikeouts in 40 2/3 innings of relief. He also started last season on the 60-day IL due to biceps tendinitis, so staying healthy has been a problem for him in the last year.
