Gregorius (elbow) threw 50 times from 90 feet Friday, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius reported no issues with his elbow after being re-evaluated Saturday and is on track to extend his throwing distance to 120 feet next week. The Yankees have yet to establish a target date for Gregorius' return, but it's likely the shortstop will be ticketed for the 60-day injured list.

Gregorius (elbow) has been cleared to take non-contact full swings with a regular bat and hopes to begin tee work at the end of March, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius underwent Tommy John surgery in the middle of October with the intention of returning before the All-Star break. The shortstop began his throwing program in the beginning of February, but needed a positive confirmation from a doctor to begin swinging. Until Gregorius returns to the lineup, Troy Tulowitzki will be the Yankees' primary shortstop.

Gregorius (elbow) hopes to be cleared for full hitting in early March, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop was cleared to begin a throwing program just last week and has already taken one-handed swings in an attempt to stay in shape while his elbow isn't ready for full swings. However, it seems like Gregorius is hopeful to reach the point of full swings relatively soon. He will be assessed by a doctor in early March, and if all goes as planned, he'll be able to begin a hitting program. As things stand, he appears to still be on track to return before the All-Star break, but a firmer date will come into focus as he progresses further in his rehab program.

Gregorius (elbow) began a throwing program Monday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Everything apparently went off without a hitch as Gregorius said he threw 25 times from 60 feet before moving on to some light throws from shortstop. This is an encouraging development for the soon-to-be 29-year-old, as prior to Monday he had been limited to hitting in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. While Gregorius still appears to be tracking a return prior to the All-Star break, a more concrete return date likely won't come into focus until he progresses further in his rehab. In the meantime, Troy Tulowitzki and Gleyber Torres are expected to fill in at shortstop until Gregorius returns.

Gregorius (elbow) began hitting in a batting cage one-handed Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop is doing his best to stay in baseball shape this offseason, though it appears he's still not able to do much with his surgically-repaired elbow. That said, Gregorius still appears to be on track for a return before the All-Star break, with a firmer date likely coming into focus as he ramps up his activity further. In the interim, Troy Tulowitzki and Gleyber Torres figure to handle primary shortstop duties to fill the void.

Gregorius (elbow) signed a one-year contract with the Yankees on Friday, avoiding arbitration.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius has a long road ahead of him as he continues to recover from Tommy John surgery that took place in mid-October, although he has a chance to return before the All-Star break if all goes according to plan. The Yankees will likely turn to a combination of Troy Tulowitzki and Gleybor Torres at shortstop until Gregorius is cleared to play.

Gregorius underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Wednesday. He is expected to be back in action before the 2019 All-Star break, Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to the club, his procedure with Dr. David Altchek went "as expected," so hope remains that Gregorius will be able to return to action around the midway point of next season. The shortstop's status should be closely monitored throughout the offseason, while a better indication of his timetable will emerge once he's able to resume fielding and throwing. Across 134 regular season game this year, Gregorius slashed .268/.335/.494 with 27 home runs, 86 RBI and 10 stolen bases.

Gregorius suffered a right elbow injury during the ALDS against the Red Sox and an MRI on Thursday revealed that he will require Tommy John surgery. Manager Aaron Boone said he anticipates Gregorius returning "at some point during the season," though he added it's "realistic" that the shortstop will be available for the "bulk" of the 2019 campaign, Marc Carig of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It appears as though Gregorius felt the injury occur during Game 1 or 2 of the ALDS in Boston while throwing the ball into the infield after it hit the Green Monster in left field, and played through the injury the rest of the series. Thursday's MRI showed a tear in the UCL and will warrant the dreaded Tommy John surgery, but fortunately, the timetable for rehab is generally a great deal shorter for position players as opposed to pitchers. That will make it possible for Gregorius to return to the field next year, though Boone added that a concrete timetable is unknown at this point in time. Gregorius is expected to undergo surgery next week.

Gregorius is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius started the last two games as he returned from the wrist injury, but will get the day off for the regular season finale. The 28-year-old has a .268/.335/.494 slash line with 27 home runs and 86 RBI for the season. Adeiny Hechavarria will start at shortstop and bat ninth in his absence.

Gregorius (wrist) is back in the lineup Friday against Boston, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius suffered a wrist injury Saturday when sliding into home plate which looked to be potentially season-threatening, but he's made good progress over the last few days and will wind up having missed just five games. He'll bat sixth and play shortstop against the Red Sox.
