Masahiro Tanaka continues throwing in outfield

Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka continues to make progress in his recovery from a partially torn UCL in his right elbow, as he once again played catch Thursday.

Under the watchful eyes of team trainers, Tanaka threw from 60 and 90 feet in the outfield, according to MLB.com. He is expected to begin throwing from 120 feet in the coming days, and will join the team when it travels to Baltimore next week. He could then move on to bullpen sessions, with an eye on returning to the rotation in September.
