If his progression continues, Eovaldi will pitch out of the bullpen should the Yankees win the American League Wild Card Game presented by Budweiser on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET (watch on ESPN) and advance to the AL Division Series.
"He threw a bullpen today and it was good," manager Joe Girardi said. "So now, Tuesday's out of the question. Moving forward after that, it's something we will look at.
"See how he feels tomorrow. See when his next throwing session will be and we'll go from there."
Eovaldi said he came out of the Friday session feeling no pain and that he hasn't experienced any pain since the initial soreness last month.
