Chamberlain Expects to Pitch this Season

RHP Joba Chamberlain feels as if he let the Yankees down when he dislocated his ankle on a trampoline playing with his son and nearly died to to blood loss, but refused to apologize to the team following the incident.  He was already sidelined following Tommy John surgery and - realistically - probably wouldn't have pitched at all this season.  However, Chamberlain still expects to pitch this season.

Chamberlain said that he and his son were jumping from trampoline-to-trampoline at a Tampa trampoline facility when he landed awkwardly.  GM Brian Cashman has revealed that the injury has been categorized as an open dislocation subtalar joint.  Chamberlain is expected to remain in a cast for a minimum of six weeks and then move to a walking boot.
