Joba Chamberlain is hoping to return from the disabled list next week although he's the only one to mention the timetable, according to New York Daily News.

He has been on the disabled list since Aug. 5 with rotator cuff tendinitis. He threw a 45-pitch bullpen session Thursday and reported no problems with his shoulder.

"There's light; I see it peeking through," Chamberlain said. "You learn to be patient. This game is a marathon, not a sprint."
