Yankees' Frankie Montas: Begins throwing program

Montas (shoulder) began a throwing program Tuesday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Montas had been shut down for 14 weeks following arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder back in late February. The right-hander has professed a desire to return this season and has a shot to do so, although it likely wouldn't be before September and it's not clear what kind of role he might be able to fill. Montas is slated to hit free agency after the season.
