Rortvedt was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Sunday's win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Rortvedt provided depth behind the dish for the Yankees during their weekend series against the Rays but didn't appear in any games. He'll head back to the minors since Jose Trevino is expected to return from the paternity list ahead of Tuesday's series opener against Boston.

Rortvedt was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Rortvedt has yet to appear in the big leagues this year and has hit .215 with four home runs, 17 RBI and 16 runs over 30 games at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He should provide depth behind the dish while Jose Trevino is on the paternity list.

Rortvedt (knee) was activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rortvedt has been on the shelf since mid-May after undergoing knee surgery, but he's been deemed healthy after an 11-game rehab assignment. The 24-year-old may not see an opportunity in the big leagues this year while Jose Trevino and Kyle Higashioka remain healthy.

Rortvedt (knee) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Rortvedt has been out since May 8 after suffering a left knee injury while rehabbing and has yet to make his season debut for the Yankees following the team acquiring him from the Twins via trade in March. He appears to be nearing a return though, joining Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after he went 1-for-12 with three runs and three walks over four contests with High-A Hudson Valley.

Rortvedt (knee) went 0-for-2 with a walk in a rehab appearance with High-A Hudson Valley on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

This was technically Rortvedt's third rehab game this season, but it was his first since he picked up a knee injury May 8. The backstop underwent arthroscopic surgery for that issue, which came on the heels of an oblique strain that caused him to miss all of spring training the first month of the regular season. Rortvedt could work his way up to the majors at some point if he performs well while rehabbing, but he'll likely need an extended minor-league assignment considering the amount of time he has missed.

Rortvedt (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Hudson Valley on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rortvedt has resided on the Yankees' injured list all season and has played only two games in the minors, which both came during his initial rehab assignment last May before he was shut down after requiring arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. The young backstop has made a full recovery from the oblique injury that first forced him to the IL coming out of spring training, but he'll likely be in line for an extended rehab assignment as he looks to prove he's 100 percent healthy following knee surgery. Once he's activated from the IL, Rortvedt could challenge Kyle Higashioka for the Yankees' No. 2 catching job, as Jose Trevino appears locked in atop the depth chart after recently earning a spot on the American League All-Star team.

Rortvedt (knee) took live batting practice Saturday and has been increasing his running, Randy Miller of NJ Advance Media reports. "I would say he's probably getting close to being ready for some game action," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Rortvedt hasn't yet played this season after the Yankees acquired him in a trade with Minnesota in mid-March. The backstop was dealing with an oblique issue at the time of the deal, and he later picked up a knee injury that required surgery while rehabbing in May. Rortvedt was expected to compete for the primary catcher job when he was first dealt to New York, but Jose Trevino has hit well enough (.743 OPS) that such an opportunity may have passed, at least for this season.

Rortvedt (knee) was walking normally without crutches Friday, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rortvedt underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee May 18, and it was encouraging to see him regain his mobility less than two weeks after the procedure. The catcher is hopeful that he'll be able to return to game action in 4-to-6 weeks, which puts him in line with his initial recovery timetable of mid-to-late July.

The Yankees transferred Rortvedt (knee) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Rortvedt, who has been on the shelf all season, recently underwent arthroscopic left knee surgery and may not be available until after the All-Star break, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his recovery timeline. Instead, the transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for fellow catcher Rob Brantly, who re-signed with the Yankees and had his contract selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre when New York placed backstop Kyle Higashioka on the COVID-19-related injured list prior to Sunday's doubleheader with the White Sox.

Rortvedt (knee) underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Rortvedt missed the start of the regular season due to an oblique injury, and his rehab assignment was recently paused due to a knee injury that ultimately required surgery. The procedure was classified as a meniscus clean-up, and the backstop is expected to have a recovery timetable of 6-to-8 weeks prior to returning to game action. As a result, the 24-year-old will likely be sidelined until at least late June or sometime in July.
