TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees starter Phil Hughes has taken another step forward in his rehabilitation program for a shoulder injury.

Hughes has been out since April 15 because of inflammation in the right shoulder. He threw 36 of 49 pitches for strikes in a camp game on Tuesday against minor leaguers at the Yankees’ spring training complex.

Hughes pitched three scoreless innings, including a five-out second. He struck out six, walked one and allowed two hits. His fastball reached 93 mph and averaged around 91. He said the current plan is for him to throw 65 pitches Sunday for Class-A Staten Island.
