Michael Pineda made a surprise appearance in the New York clubhouse before Tuesday night's game against the Braves. The right-hander was in town to see doctors, to get a check-up on the injury that will keep him out for the rest of the season. "I'm feeling better right now," Pineda said. "I'm starting now, working, my exercise. I go to the physical therapy everyday." Since being diagnosed with a labrum tear in his right shoulder at the end of April which ended his first season in pinstripes before it even began, Pineda has been on a strict no-throwing diet. It was thought at the time that Pineda might not be able to start throwing until the late fall-early winter period, but the tall right-hander indicated that timetable might have been moved up. "Somebody told me, like, in the middle of September," Pineda said.
