Yankees' Ben Heller: Facing hitters

Heller (elbow) recently resumed facing hitters in extended spring training games, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

The Yankees haven't pinpointed a target date for Heller's return from the 60-day injured list, but he likely won't be an option for the big-league bullpen until after the All-Star break. Heller is just under 14 months removed from Tommy John surgery.
