Gregorius (elbow) is expected to return from the injured list prior to the maximum of 20 days on a rehab assignment, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius will embark on a rehab stint at High-A Tampa over the weekend, though the team is optimistic about his chances of returning prior to the 20-day maximum. A concrete timeline for his return should become more clear within the next few weeks.

Gregorius (elbow) will start a rehab assignment for High-A Tampa this weekend, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius took part in extended spring training earlier this week and he'll now report to Tampa for the next step in his rehab. Assuming he makes it through his minor-league appearances with no setbacks, a timeline for a return to the major-league club for the shortstop should be established next week.

Gregorius (elbow) went 2-for-4 with a walk while playing shortstop in an extended spring training game Monday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius fielded all three balls hit his way but committed a throwing error. While that's not a welcome sight for a player returning from Tommy John surgery, the Yankees probably won't get too discouraged by one off-target throw. So long as Gregorius reports no renewed elbow pain when he's re-evaluated Tuesday, he'll play in another extended spring game as a designated hitter. At least for now, Gregorius is setting his sights on an early-to-mid-June return from the 60-day injured list.

Gregorius (elbow) will begin playing in extended spring training games Monday and could return sometime in June, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
He will play shortstop Monday, so he has been cleared for full baseball activities on the road back from Tommy John surgery. Manager Aaron Boone said Gregorius may not require a full simulated spring training, so he could be back with the Yankees during the first couple weeks of June if everything goes perfectly, as it seemingly has of late for him.

Gregorius (elbow) is roughly 10 days from beginning to play in extended spring training games, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius was spotted on the field before Friday's matchup with Tampa Bay taking ground balls, and skipper Aaron Boone revealed that the shortstop is a little over a week away from embarking on a rehab assignment. Gregorius will certainly need more than a handful of games down in the minor leagues before his activation, but this is another step in the right direction.

General manager Brian Cashman said Sunday that Gregorius (elbow) is on track to complete his throwing program this week, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Once he finishes up the throwing program, Gregorius should advance to light hitting activities, with his initial work likely be limited to batting off a tee. From there, he'll likely hit soft toss and then batting practice before facing live pitching in simulated-game settings. Manager Aaron Boone said earlier in the weekend that Gregorius is likely a few weeks away from heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment, leaving the door open for the shortstop to return from the 60-day injured list prior to the All-Star break.

Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Gregorius (elbow) is a few weeks away from a rehab assignment, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius has been progressing very well in his recovery after undergoing Tommy John surgery in mid-October. The Yankees were previously hoping the 29-year-old would return around the All-Star break in early July, but he currently appears a bit ahead of that schedule.

Manager Aaron Boone said Gregorius (elbow) is progressing "as planned," Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius is working his way back from offseason Tommy John surgery. The shortstop recently made throws around the infield and has built up his throwing distance to 120 feet. The club hopes Gregorius could return around the All-Star break, though a more concrete return date should come into focus as he progresses further along in his rehab.

Gregorius (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop was on the 10-day injured list after undergoing Tommy John surgery, but with the Yankees making a couple of roster moves Saturday, the 29-year-old was shifted to the 60-day IL to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Gregorius has been throwing from 90-120 feet and could be back just before the All-Star break, though a timeline for a return has yet to be established.

The Yankees officially placed Gregorius (elbow) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius isn't expected to be ready to make his season debut until shortly before the All-Star break at the earliest, making him a prime candidate to shift to the 60-day IL if the Yankees want to open up an extra spot on the 40-man roster. At this point in his rehab from Tommy John surgery, Gregorius has been throwing from around 90-to-120 feet, but it's unclear when he'll be ready to play shortstop in simulated or minor-league rehab games.
