Yarbrough (oblique) will face hitters either in a live bullpen session or in a minor-league rehab game Sunday, Peter Sblendorio of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yarbrough landed on the injured list June 22 due to a right oblique strain. He was shut down from throwing until mid-July and has since been working his way back, advancing to bullpen sessions in late July and tossing his first live session this past Thursday. Manager Aaron Boone indicated Saturday that Yarbrough could throw in a minor-league game with Double-A Somerset on Sunday, but that it's more likely the lefty hurler will toss another live bullpen. In either case, Yarbrough is on track to be ready for activation in late August or early September.

EDGE Analysis
Yarbrough landed on the IL due to an oblique strain in late June and initially went through a no-throw period. The southpaw resumed playing catch July 9, and he's now progressed to mound work. Yarbrough could return to action in early August if he continues to progress without setbacks.

Yarbrough (oblique) began a throwing program July 9 but hasn't yet thrown from a mound, per MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
Yarbrough landed on the injured list June 22 after being diagnosed with a right oblique strain. The left-hander was initially shut down from throwing before beginning a progression July 9. However, Yarbrough's ramp-up has been slow, as he hasn't yet advanced to tossing from a mound. With that in mind, the veteran hurler probably won't be ready to return to the Yankees until sometime in August.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Yarbrough (oblique) resumed a throwing program Wednesday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a good step for the lefty, but Yarbrough hasn't pitched in more than three weeks, so it's going to take some time for him to be built back up. He will likely require at least one rehab start before rejoining the Yankees' active roster, and by that time it's uncertain whether he will still have a rotation spot waiting for him.

Yarbrough (oblique) has yet to resume throwing, per MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
Yarbrough has been out of action since June 18 due to a right oblique strain. While he's now eligible to be activated from the IL, it appears the left-hander may need to wait until after the All-Star break to rejoin the Yankees. Manager Aaron Boone did mention Saturday that Yarbrough is "getting over the hump" and may begin throwing soon.

The Yankees placed Yarbrough on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right oblique strain.
EDGE Analysis
Per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, manager Aaron Boone said that Yarbrough's oblique began bothering him two weeks ago, but he still pitched effectively over his last two starts, allowing three earned runs in 10 innings between those outings. Yarbrough had been penciled in to start Monday in Cincinnati, but Boone confirmed that Allan Winans will instead be called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take the mound for the Yankees. According to Max Goodman of NJ.com, Boone noted that Yarbrough's oblique injury is considered a low-grade strain, but the 33-year-old will still be shut down from throwing until his symptoms dissipate. With Marcus Stroman (knee) in the midst of a rehab assignment and seemingly on pace to beat Yarbrough back from the IL, the latter could end up shifting to the bullpen once he's reinstated.

Yarbrough didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Angels, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
After allowing a home run to Nolan Schanuel in the first inning, Yarbrough managed to hold the Angels scoreless until Jo Adell added another homer in the fifth to tie the game 2-2. Overall, it was a step in the right direction for Yarbrough, who had allowed nine runs in just 8.2 innings in his previous two outings. Overall, the left-hander's ERA sits at 3.90 with a 1.17 WHIP and 49:17 K: BB across 55.1 innings this season. Yarbrough's currently lined up to face the Reds at home in his next start.

Yarbrough did not factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Red Sox, allowing one run on four hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 4.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Yarbrough allowed just one run in the second inning but tossed only one clean inning while throwing only 45 of 78 pitches for strikes. It was a solid rebound after the Red Sox tagged the 33-year-old for eight runs Saturday, though he's now failed to complete five frames in back-to-back outings. He'll carry a 3.96 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 46:16 K:BB across 50 innings into a home matchup with the Angels next week.

Yarbrough (3-1) took the loss against Boston on Saturday, allowing eight runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three batters over four innings.
EDGE Analysis
Yarbrough entered Saturday having tossed two straight quality starts and having posted a minuscule 1.76 ERA across his previous 30.2 innings, but he couldn't keep up that momentum against the Red Sox. The left-hander was particularly doomed by a five-run Boston third inning. Yarbrough's season ERA jumped from 2.83 all the way up to 4.17 as a result of the poor outing, and the loss was his first of the campaign. He'll try to bounce back in his next start, which is tentatively slated to be a rematch against Boston, this time on the road.

Yarbrough (3-0) allowed one run on four hits and struck out five without walking a batter over six innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Yarbrough again allowed a home run for the fourth outing in a row, but for the last three starts, a homer has been the only run on his line. He's allowed six runs over 26 innings across five outings since the start of May. For the season, he's at a 2.83 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 40:11 K:BB across 41.1 innings through 13 appearances (five starts). Yarbrough is tentatively lined up for a home start versus the Red Sox his next time out.
