New York Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain expects to be out of his walking boot in about two weeks, according to the Associated Press.

Chamberlain, who dislocated his right ankle jumping on a trampoline on March 22, has resumed working out at the Yankees’ minor league complex. He played catch today; he says his ankle continues to improve and that his throwing arm is 100 percent.

Chamberlain has also been working to recover from ligament replacement surgery in his elbow; he’s expected back in June.

The hard-throwing righty went 2-0 last season with a 2.83 ERA in 27 appearances. He struck out 24 batters in 28.2 innings.

    New York Yankees relief pitcher Joba Chamberlain will leave a Tampa-area hospital Sunday, according to ESPNNewYork.com.

    Chamberlain dislocated his right ankle Thursday in Tampa while rehabbing after Tommy John’s surgery.

    “He was hopeful that he could be back on the mound by July, is what he said that they had told him,” general manager Brian Cashman said, according to the report. “That’s what he told me the doctors are telling him.”

    There was speculation that the injury could be career-threatening, but the Yankees remain optimistic.

    Yankees hurler Joba Chamberlain is making progress in his recovery from June’s Tommy John surgery — the right-hander made 15 throws off a half-mound today at the team’s minor league complex in Tampa, according to MLB.com.

    In his second throwing session since last year’s surgery, Chamberlain told the Associated Press he was “happy with the progress and feeling good” after throwing off the five-inch mound. Chamberlain is unlikely to return to the Yankees by Opening Day but conservatively expected to be back before the All-Star break.

    Chamberlain last appeared for the Yankees on June 5, 2011. He went 2-0 with a 2.83 ERA in 28.2 innings of work last season.

    The rest of the Yankees’ pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report for spring training on Feb. 19.
