TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- New York Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain
has thrown off a mound for the first time since hurting his ankle
in March.

Chamberlain made 25 throws in a batting cage on Friday at the
Yankees' minor league complex in Florida. He had been throwing off
a half-height mound to help regain his form.

Chamberlain, who dislocated his right ankle bouncing on a
trampoline with his son on March 22, has also resumed running
sprints in the outfield.

The 6-foot-2, 240-pound right-hander was working his way back
from elbow ligament replacement surgery when sidelined by the ankle
injury.
