Mark Leiter Injury: Aiming to throw this weekend

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that he's hopeful Leiter (leg) can resume a throwing program this weekend, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Leiter landed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left fibular head stress fracture, an injury he actually suffered two weeks prior. It shouldn't take Leiter long to ramp back up from a stamina standpoint, but it's uncertain how his leg will respond to increased activity.
