Corey Kluber Throwing At 75 Feet

New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) extended his throwing distance from 60 to 75 feet, per manager Aaron Boone.

Ryan Jeffers Not In Thursday's Lineup

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (leg) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Kansas City Royals.

Gio Urshela Dealing With Sore Leg

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (leg) had to exit Tuesday's game after being hit by a pitch on his shin.
