Tommy Kahnle

Tommy Kahnle was sent on a rehab assignment with Single-A Tampa.

Fantasy Impact

Kahnle has been on the 15-day injured list since the start of the season. He'll likely need to make a handful of rehab appearances before he is activated.

Yankees reliever Bryan Hoch is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Thursday or Friday at the team's spring training complex in Florida.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran was bothered by a shoulder issue in spring training that forced him to begin the season on the injured list. Kahnle worked to a healthy 2.66 ERA across 42 appearances in his return to the Yankees in 2023.

Tommy Kahnle said he felt no pain in his shoulder in a bullpen session on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Kahnle acknowledged he’s behind the other relievers and isn’t likely to be on Opening Day roster. He dealt with shoulder inflammation that took longer to clear up in the off-season so he began his throwing program a couple of weeks late.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tommy Kahnle is behind in his build-up this spring and may not be available for Opening Day.

Fantasy Impact

This is from shoulder inflammation that Kahnle suffered at the end of last season. Boone added that he is throwing bullpens, but he won't pitch in games until later in March.

Tommy Kahnle continued his dominant season, retiring the only batter he faced to earn his second save of the year in the Yankees' 4-2 win over the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

The right-hander has yet to allow a run this season, sporting a pristine 0.00 ERA and 0.39 WHIP over eight appearances. With a 10.6 K/9 and a 9.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Kahnle has been a reliable option out of the bullpen for the Yankees.
