Gregorius (elbow) will resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Tom Housenick of The Morning Call reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gregorius has recently been working in the batting cage, and he will return to game action for the first time since June 10. The 31-year-old has been dealing with CPPD, which is a form of arthritis caused by calcium crystal deposits that is treatable with anti-inflammatory medication. He appeared close to a return prior to his recent shutdown, but it's not yet clear how many rehab games he'll require before being able to rejoin the Phillies.

Gregorius has not seen game action for Triple-A Lehigh Valley since June 10 as he deals with inflammation in his elbow, but he has been getting work in a batting cage, Tom Housenick of The Morning Call reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran shortstop is dealing with CPPD, a form of arthritis caused by calcium crystal deposits that is treatable with anti-inflammatory medication. Given that this condition occurred in the same elbow he underwent Tommy John surgery on in October 2018, the Phillies seem to be taking extra care to make sure it's fully under control and won't recur before Gregorius returns to game action. As yet, there's no clear timetable for when he might resume his rehab stint, but he appeared close to returning to the big-league roster before his latest shutdown.

Gregorius (elbow) had his rehab assignment paused last week but is scheduled to resume play Tuesday at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gregorius is reportedly feeling better Monday after experiencing some stiffness and soreness, but this issue is something that could linger moving forward, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic. The team has yet to set a firm return date from the injured list for the shortstop.

Manager Joe GIrardi said Sunday that Gregorius has experienced some stiffness and soreness in his injured right elbow during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, so he will remain on the rehab stint for the time being, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Girardi didn't appear to be overly concerned with the shortstop's discomfort, but the update means that Gregorius will need at least another day with Lehigh Valley. The Phillies begin a road series against the Dodgers on Monday, so if Gregorius doesn't join the team in Los Angeles, perhaps he'll target a Friday return in San Francisco.

Gregorius (elbow) is starting his rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

This marks a significant step in his return from right elbow soreness, as he could be activated within a few days if all goes well with the rehab assignment. Gregorius hit a meager .229 before landing on the injured list May 18, but he was a valuable contributor nonetheless with four homers and 22 RBI.

Gregorius (elbow) could begin a rehab assignment by the end of this week, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old was taking batting practice over the weekend, and his injured right elbow has apparently made significant progress over the past week. Gregorius has been sidelined nearly a month by the injury, and he could rejoin the Phillies early next week if he's able to begin the rehab stint this weekend.

Gregorius (elbow) took batting practice Saturday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gregorius' elbow is no longer swollen, but it remains unclear when he'll be ready to return to the roster. He hasn't played in a game since May 12, so he'll need a few rehab games before he's ready to go. The Phillies have yet to announce when they intend to send him on a rehab assignment. Ronald Torreyes has emerged as the primary shortstop in his absence.

Gregorius (elbow) is eligible to return from the injured list Monday but isn't close to doing so, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The swelling in Gregorius' elbow is diminished but is still present despite the fact that it's now been 12 days since he last got into a game. He's yet to swing a bat with both arms. Gregorius underwent Tommy John surgery on the same elbow following the 2018 season, so there's perhaps more concern here than there would be for most players. Nick Maton and Ronald Torreyes have settled into a platoon at shortstop in his absence.

Gregorius was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right elbow impingement Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Gregorius last played Wednesday, but the transaction can only be backdated to Friday. He'll be eligible to return from the injured list next Monday, though it's not yet clear if he's expected to do so. Nick Maton has been filling in for him at shortstop and should continue to do so going forward, with Ronald Torreyes returning from the COVID-19 injured list to fill a bench role.

Gregorius (elbow) is out of the lineup Sunday against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Gregorius' absence will continue Sunday after he exited Wednesday's contest with right elbow stiffness. Nick Maton will receive another start at shortstop for the Phillies in his place.
