Benintendi (wrist) is scheduled to begin taking dry swings Saturday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi said last week that he doesn't expect to return from the injured list before the playoffs, but it's encouraging that he'll resume swinging over the weekend. It's not yet clear whether the 28-year-old will be available for the start of the postseason, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.

Benintendi (wrist) said Thursday that he doesn't expect to return from the injured list prior to the end of the regular season, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi broke the hook of his hamate bone in early September and underwent surgery. He hasn't experienced any setbacks in his recovery process, but he said Thursday that his mindset during his rehab has been to prepare for a potential postseason return. The 28-year-old isn't sure when he'll be able to resume swinging a bat, but he hopes that he'll be in the mix to return during the playoffs. If the Yankees win the American League East, they'll begin postseason play in the ALDS on Oct. 11.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Benintendi's right wrist surgery is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi's upcoming procedure will repair the hook of the hamate bone in his wrist and is expected to keep him on the shelf for several weeks, which could mean that he won't play again during the regular season. A clearer timeline on Benintendi's recovery may come forth once the procedure is completed, but for at least the time being, his absence will open up more reps in left field for the likes of Aaron Hicks, Estevan Florial, Tim Locastro and Marwin Gonzalez.

Benintendi broke the hook of his hamate bone and will require surgery, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi underwent X-rays this weekend that came back negative, and he was initially diagnosed with right wrist discomfort. However, the issue is apparently more significant and should keep the 28-year-old off the field for several weeks. He'll meet with doctors Monday to determine a better timetable for his return, and he hopes that he can be back on the field late in the regular season, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Benintendi was placed on the 10-day injured list with right wrist inflammation Saturday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi hurt his right wrist on a swing Friday against the Rays and underwent X-rays that came back negative, but he's dealing with inflammation that will sideline him for at least a week and a half. The 28-year-old will undergo further imaging on his wrist and is unlikely to have a clearer timetable for his return until the results of his tests are known. Oswaldo Cabrera and Aaron Hicks should see increased playing time in the outfield while Benintendi is unavailable.

Benintendi (wrist) isn't starting Saturday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi sustained a right wrist injury during Friday's matchup against Tampa Bay and underwent X-rays after the game that came back negative. The results of his MRI aren't yet known, but he'll be out of the lineup for at least one game while Aaron Hicks starts in left field and bats ninth.

Benintendi's X-rays on his right wrist were negative, and he'll undergo an MRI on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi exited Friday's game against the Rays after hurting his right wrist on a swing. Although the 28-year-old will undergo further testing, early test results suggest that he's avoided a significant injury. If he's forced to miss additional time, Oswaldo Cabrera and Aaron Hicks could see additional work in the outfield.

Benintendi went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Benintendi cooled off a bit after a warm stretch last week, but he's still gone 14-for-40 (.350) over his last 10 games. He's added two homers, seven RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base in that span. The veteran outfielder is up to a .303/.373/.397 slash line with five long balls, 51 RBI, 54 runs scored and eight steals through 124 games between the Yankees and the Royals this season.
