Yankees manager Joe Girardi caught SP Andrew Brackman, who is coming back from right elbow ligament replacement surgery, during a 30-pitch bullpen session Tuesday. The Yankees' first round pick in the 2007 amateur draft could be ready to pitch in instructional league this fall. (Updated 05/13/2008).
Injury Report
Elbow - 60-day DL. Out for the season (Updated - 3/15/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Brackman is a first-round pick that was selected despite his needing Tommy John surgery. Consider him a long-term keeper prospect at this point. He won't pitch in the minor leagues until 2009 and therefore won't be a true candidate for a call-up until 2010 at this point. (Updated 05/13/2008).
