Mitchell (toe) was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday after completing his rehab assignment, Chad Jennings of LoHud.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old had been on a rehab assignment since early August as he worked his way back from a toe injury that had sidelined him since the end of spring training. He threw 5.0 total innings during his rehab assignment, allowing five earned runs on eight hits while striking out four.

Mitchell (toe) is set to make a rehab start at Low-A Charleston on Monday, the Post and Courier reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander is yet to pitch this season after sustaining a toe injury near the end of spring training. While he's thrown simulated games, Monday will mark his first live action since 2015, when he appeared in 20 games for the big league club. Mitchell, who posted a 6.37 ERA last season, will likely require several rehab appearances before a potential return to New York, where he'd provide bullpen depth.

Mitchell (toe) is expected to begin a rehab assignment by the end of next week, Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell has already thrown multiple sim games and is expected to pitch in one or two more, but the next step in his recovery after that would be to set out on a rehab assignment. With the big league club's recent trades of Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller, there would definitely be room in the major league bullpen for the 25-year-old once healthy if the team chooses to go that route.

Mitchell (toe) is scheduled to pitch in a simulated game Saturday, LoHud.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell has been sidelined for the entirety of the season thus far after fracturing his toe toward the end of spring training, but manager Joe Girardi indicated the pitcher was rehabbing better than expected. Even still, with just over two months remaining in the regular season, it remains a possibility the 25-year-old doesn't work his way back to major league action until 2017.

Mitchell (toe) is not expected to be a factor for the major league roster this season, the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell has been playing catch out of a chair but has yet to progress to throwing off flat ground or in a bullpen session. He was initially expected to be out until around the beginning of August, but manager Joe Girardi indicated he doesn't expect to have the 25-year-old available in the majors at any point this season. Despite that, Mitchell should be able to recover enough from his fractured toe to be able to make a few minor league appearances before the end of the 2016 season.

Mitchell (toe) was transferred to the 60-day DL on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The move is essentially a formality, as Mitchell is not expected to be back with the team until August, at the earliest. The move to the 60-day DL frees up a spot on the 40-man roster, which New York used to add right-hander Chad Green from Triple-A.

Mitchell (toe) had surgery Monday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to manager Joe Girardi, Mitchell faces at least a four month recovery timetable that effectively rules him out until August at the earliest. At this point it sounds as though the 24-year-old may not have much of an impact at the major league level this season, as he'll likely require a lengthy rehab stint once he's ready to get back into game action.

Mitchell (toe) was placed on the 15-day DL on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams is dealing with a tear in one of his toes and figures to miss considerable time, though it hasn't been determined whether or not he'll require surgery just yet. Regardless of how the Yankees choose to proceed with Mitchell, don't count on him being available until around the All-Star break.

Mitchell has a fractured toe that may require surgery, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The New York bullpen may be in rough shape early in the season, with Aroldis Chapman suspended for 30 games and Andrew Miller (right hand) uncertain for Opening Day. Mitchell thus had a shot at a late-inning role -- at least temporarily -- but he now figures to be out for an extended period of time. According to Jack Curry of YES Network, Mitchell is expected to miss about half of the season.

Mitchell's left big toe "locked up," according to GM Brian Cashman and was seen limping in the locker room after the Yankees' spring training game on Wednesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell, who was informed that he will make the major league club on Tuesday, looked to be an integral piece of the Yankees' bullpen; however, this injury, if serious, could put a dent in the team's bullpen depth. With Aroldois Chapman suspended and Andrew Miller taking a line drive off the wrist on Wednesday as well, the Yankees' bullpen depth will be tested from the outset of the season.
