Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reports that the Cubs and Royals are among the teams interested in free agent right-hander Joba Chamberlain.

According to Feinsand, nothing is imminent with either team. Chamberlain is fresh off a dreadful season in which he posted a 4.93 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 38/26 K/BB ratio over 42 innings. Presumably he would work in a middle relief role with the Royals, but could be a candidate to work his way into save chances with the Cubs if he performs well.

Sweeny Murti of WFAN reports that "more than a dozen" teams have already inquired about free agent Joba Chamberlain.

Murti also notes that the Yankees are not one of those teams. The hard-throwing 28-year-old is coming off a disappointing season in which he posted a 4.93 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 38/26 K/BB ratio over 42 innings. There remains a tremendous amount of talent in his right arm though, and Chamberlain shouldn't have any difficulty securing a bullpen role someplace this winter.

Joba Chamberlain was ejected from Thursday's game against the Red Sox for arguing with home plate umpire Joe West.

Chamberlain correctly argued that Shane Victorino failed to check his swing on a 2-2 pitch, but West disagreed. Victorino then singled in the go-ahead run. Chamberlain isn't going to face a suspension for his actions.

While the Tigers are scouring the market for bullpen help, Danny Knobler of CBS Sports reports that they are not interested in Joba Chamberlain.

The Tigers have scouts watching the Marlins, Brewers, Padres, Mariners and Astros and appear increasingly likely to add an arm or two to solidify the backend of their bullpen in front of closer Joaquin Benoit. While the Yankees are aggressively pushing Chamberlain in trade talks, the interest appears to be lukewarm at the moment.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal hears that the Phillies are not one of the teams pursuing Yankees' reliever Joba Chamberlain.

The Phillies have been mentioned as a possible destination for Chamberlain in the past, but there's nothing there right now. Still, it's quite clear that the Yankees are trying to move him. The 27-year-old right-hander has a 5.75 ERA and 22/10 K/BB ratio over 20 1/3 innings this season and will become a free agent this winter.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal was told by an AL executive that the Yankees are "aggressively" pushing trades involving Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes.

In fact, the same executive said that Chamberlain could soon be dealt to a National League team. Meanwhile, Rosenthal was told by another source that nothing is close with either player. Both Chamberlain and Hughes are slated to be free agents after the season. While it's a bit surprising to see a contending team dangle a starter in the trade market, Ivan Nova has pitched well of late and the Yankees have Michael Pineda waiting in the wings in the minors.

The Braves and Giants have an interest in Joba Chamberlain, according to George A. King III and Dan Martin of the New York Post.

Braves scout Jim Fregosi watched Chamberlain pitch last Friday against the Orioles. Meanwhile, the Giants sent scout Lee Elder to Target Field for last night's Twins-Yankees game exclusively to watch Chamberlain. The impending free agent has a disappointing 5.75 ERA and 22/10 K/BB ratio over 20 1/3 innings this season, but his velocity is still in the mid-90s. The Yankees aren't expected to bring him back in 2014, so they could be able to get an interesting piece in return.

Yankees activated RHP Joba Chamberlain from the 15-day disabled list.

Joba wound up missing a total of four weeks with an oblique strain. He will be available out of the Yanks' bullpen on Tuesday night against the crosstown Mets.

Joba Chamberlain (oblique) said he'll be activated from the disabled list Tuesday.

Chamberlain had a scoreless rehab appearance in Triple-A a couple of weeks ago, but the Yankees backed off just to be on the safe side. However, he was hitting 95-96 mph in extended spring training on Saturday and is now ready to rejoin the Yankees' bullpen. The 27-year-old right-hander has been sidelined since April 27 with a strained oblique.

Joba Chamberlain (oblique) is scheduled to throw two inning Saturday in extended spring training.

Chamberlain pitched a scoreless inning for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre over a week ago, but the Yankees didn't think he was ready yet. However, if all goes well, there's a chance he could be activated late next week. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since April 27 with a strained oblique.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Thursday that Joba Chamberlain (oblique) needs at least one more rehab appearance before coming off the disabled list.

Chamberlain gave up two hits in a scoreless frame Tuesday night for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but the Yankees think he needs more work before returning. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since late April with an oblique strain.

Joba Chamberlain (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Tuesday.

The Yankees were hoping Chamberlain would be ready for activation on Monday, the first day he's eligible, but obviously that's not going to happen. He should return later this week, though, as long as he doesn't have a setback.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi is hoping that Joba Chamberlain (oblique) will return from the disabled list on May 13.

Chamberlain has played catch but has yet to tests things out from a mound. "Until he gets off the mound and turns it up a little bit, you're really not going to know," Girardi said. It's not clear if Chamberlain will require a rehab assignment.

Yankees placed RHP Joba Chamberlain on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 28, with an oblique strain.

It's not clear when or how he suffered the oblique injury. Chamberlain, 27, has posted a 3.86 ERA in 9 1/3 innings this season despite struggling with his control. He will likely be sidelined for a full three weeks.

Joba Chamberlain tallied his first save of the season Saturday as the Yankees defeated the Blue Jays.

Mariano Rivera was used heavily this week, so the Yankees decided to give Joba a shot and he scattered two hits over a scoreless ninth. Chamberlain has a 3.86 ERA.

George A. King III of the New York Post reports that Don Welke, a senior special assistant to Rangers general manager Jon Daniels, scouted Joba Chamberlain on Monday.

It doesn't necessarily mean anything, but the Yankees have some bullpen depth and Chamberlain is due to become a free agent after the season. For what it's worth, ESPN's Buster Olney has speculated that Craig Gentry could be a fit in a potential deal.

Yankees and RHP Joba Chamberlain avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract.

Chamberlain posted a 4.35 ERA and 22/6 K/BB ratio in 20 2/3 innings last season for the Yankees after returning from major elbow and ankle injuries. The 27-year-old right-hander was arbitration-eligible for the final time. If he's not locked up, he'll hit the free agent market in November.

Joba Chamberlain (elbow) could be available to pitch in Friday's Game 5.

Chamberlain was injured Thursday after being hit by a broken bat. "If there is not a lot of swelling in there, my guess is that I'll have him today," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.

Joba Chamberlain has been diagnosed with a contusion on his right elbow.

X-rays on the right-hander's pitching elbow came back negative. Chamberlain was injured Thursday after being hit by a broken bat. He should be considered day-to-day.

Joba Chamberlain exited Thursday's game against the Orioles after being hit in the right elbow by a broken bat.

Matt Wieters singled while leading off the 12th, but his broken bat caught Joba's elbow. The right-hander had a huge welt right away and, although he wanted to remain in the game after throwing a few warm-up pitches, the Yankees thought better of it. It shouldn't be a long-term issue, but Joba likely won't be available for a few days, at least.
