Manager Aaron Boone stated "it's certainly possible" that Frazier (concussion) could return from the disabled list sometime in September, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier has been hampered with concussion symptoms since July 19, although he's slowly beginning to participate in more baseball activities. If he manages to successfully increase his activity, expect him to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment in the near future, with the potential for a mid-to-late September return from the shelf.

Frazier (concussion) is improving and has started to ramp up his baseball activities, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is encouraging news for Frazier, who has been dealing with concussion symptoms for a good chunk of the 2018 campaign. The 23-year-old has appeared in just 63 games between Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and the Yankees this season. Depending on how he responds to increased activity in the coming weeks, Frazier could return in time to be an option for the big club down the stretch.

Manager Aaron Boone indicated Frazier is still feeling symptoms from the post-concussion migraines he sustained July 19, but is "trending in the right direction," Lindsey Adler of The Athletic New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier is hitting in the cage and throwing while in Tampa Bay, but is still limited while experiencing symptoms. Once cleared, the 23-year-old should require a minor-league rehab assignment, but at this point -- three weeks removed from the incident -- there's no telling when that may be.

Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Frazier is still feeling symptoms from the post-concussion migraines that he sustained July 19, Marc Carig of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boone didn't specify any sort of timetable, likely because the club still doesn't know how much longer Frazier will need before he is deemed symptom-free. The manager added that Frazier is dealing with "fogginess" which isn't a great sign considering it's almost been two weeks since the incident. Consider Frazier out indefinitely as he likely won't be back in action until the mid-to-late August at the earliest.

Manager Aaron Boone said Frazier (concussion) will head to Tampa on Friday in order to get "symptom-free," Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boone failed to offer up a timetable or whether Frazier will be appearing in any sort of game-like situations in the near future, but added that Frazier would be a key depth piece for the club's outfield while Aaron Judge (wrist) is on the shelf. Frazier was able to partake in a workout earlier this week after being diagnosed with post-concussion migraines, but still has work left to do before returning to the major-league level.

Frazier (concussion) shifted from the minor-league disabled list to the Yankees' 10-day disabled list Saturday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier exited Thursday's game at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with possible concussion symptoms and was subsequently placed on minor-league DL, only to be moved onto the major-league DL on Saturday. The 23-year-old missed a chunk of spring training and the first part of the season with a concussion (while on the major-league DL), but it's not exactly clear what prompted the shift. Regardless, the team will want to be extra caution as Frazier deals with his second concussion in five months.

EDGE Analysis
It's Frazier's second concussion of the year after a previous one cost him most of spring training and the entire first month of the season. His recovery timeline is hard to predict, and the Yankees will want to be extra careful with him given his history.

Frazier left Thursday's game for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with possible concussion symptoms, Conor Foley of the Times-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier missed an extended period of time at the start of the year with a concussion, so the Yankees will need to be extra careful with their young outfielder. He's expected to see a doctor soon, at which point the severity of the issue should become clear.
