4 years agoNew York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka (head) threw a bullpen session on Thursday. Pitching coach Matt Blake was encouraged by Tanaka’s session, and the 31-year-old continues to recover well from the concussion he suffered on July 4. Tanaka is scheduled for an additional bullpen session on Sunday and is likely to face live hitters sometime next week, putting him in line to avoid missing any starts. Fantasy owners should expect the remainder of Tanaka’s recovery to be setback-free given that the pitcher hasn’t experienced concussion symptoms in nearly two weeks, and plan for Tanaka to be healthy for the start of the season.--Sam Chinitz
