Brian Cashman Gives Yankees Injuries Updates

Brian Cashman was passing out Yankees injury updates in early December, the fans and beat writers of the New York Yankees are ruthless aren't they? On a serious note though I am excited to hear about and bring these injury updates for key Yankees Mark Teixeira, Nathan Eovaldi and Masahiro Tanaka.

Here are the exact quotes from Cashman courtesy of RAB:

• Masahiro Tanaka (elbow) has finished his physical therapy following surgery to remove a bone spur from his elbow. He’s heading home to Japan soon and will begin a throwing program. “He’s got a throwing program, so he should be good to go in the spring, but I’m sure we’ll be careful with him nonetheless,” said Cashman.

• Mark Teixeira (shin) has shed his walking boot and is going through workouts. He’s not scheduled to begin running until after the holidays though. “He’s out of his boot. He’s, I’d say, healthy. He’s walking around, doing activities,” said the GM.

• Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) is fine. He was ready to be added to the ALDS roster had the Yankees advanced. Eovaldi is going through his normal offseason routine. “No concern. He’s got a normal winter routine that he can execute,” said Cashman
