Manager Aaron Boone said Fried (elbow) threw a successful session of live batting practice Sunday and will do so again Thursday or Friday before embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
The veteran left-hander continues to progress in his rehab from a bone bruise in his left elbow, and he's closing in on being cleared for game action. Fried landed on the shelf in mid-May and will likely require at least a couple starts in the minors before rejoining the Yankees' starting rotation.
