Michael Pineda's sore right shoulder showed no structural damage, a development Yankees manager Joe Girardi termed "great news."
The pitcher has tendinitis and will begin the season on the disabled list.
"I'm feeling a little better," Pineda said. "A little sore. I'm a little sad. I'll be OK."
Pineda had experienced soreness in the back of his right shoulder on Friday night.
"I'm pitching this year," he said. "I'm coming back strong."
