Angel Chivilli: Everything you need to know

The Yankees activated Chivilli (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Chivilli has put his shoulder issue behind him, but he will remain at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he began a rehab assignment Wednesday. The 23-year-old made two relief appearances for the Yankees earlier this season, allowing one run with a 3:3 K:BB over 2.1 innings.

Chivilli (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday. Right shoulder discomfort has kept Chivilli out of action since late April, but after beginning a throwing program in late May, he's already been cleared to begin pitching in minor-league games. He'll presumably make multiple appearances with the RailRiders before returning to the Yankees' bullpen.

Chivilli (shoulder) has resumed throwing off a mound and is slated to throw live batting practice during the coming week, per MLB.com. Chivilli logged action in only two games with the big-league club before landing on the injured list April 25 due to right shoulder discomfort. He was shut down from throwing for several weeks but has since been able to resume tossing from a mound. Given the length of his absence, Chivilli will likely need a minor-league rehab assignment before he's activated, though it's not clear when that rehab stint will begin.
