TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -Yankees catcher Jorge Posada went 1-for-3 with a walk in an extended spring training game Monday and remains on schedule to rejoin the team this week.

Sidelined since April 27 by a sore right shoulder, Posada made two throws to the bases in the game against Philadelphia's minor leaguers. He made a throw to first on a batted ball near the plate that was ruled foul, and also tried to pick a runner off second.

``You keep working on things and try to throw,'' Posada said. ``I threw the ball behind the runner and felt good about it.''

It was the second time since getting hurt that Posada was allowed to throw to the bases during a game. His status to resume catching for New York will be evaluated after playing in another extended spring game on Tuesday.

``We'll see how it feels tomorrow,'' Posada said. ``Be ready for Thursday or Friday.''

Posada had an RBI single and popped out twice Monday. The five-time All-Star is 9-for-25 with five walks in six extended spring games overall.

Notes: RHP Alan Horne, one the Yankees' top starting pitching prospects, allowed six runs and six hits over 5 2-3 innings in his last extended spring start. On the Triple-A disabled list with a biceps injury, struck six out and walked one during his 76-pitch outing. ...
