Hughes goes off half-mound

After weeks of waiting we finally hear good news about Phil Hughes. The Yankees’ young stud made 25 throws off of a half-mound yesterday. The Yanks will see how he responds to throwing over the next few days before setting a timetable. While E.J. at Pending Pinstripes sees an optimistic return date of June 6 for Hughes, it looks like June 16th is more likely.
