Fowler (kneecap) took part in live batting practice Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though the Athletics continue to ease Fowler along in his recovery from late-June surgery to repair a ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee, his involvement in live batting practice suggests that he remains on pace to make his Cactus League debut later this month. Fowler should receive enough at-bats in spring training to make a case for the Athletics' starting center-field job heading into Opening Day, but he'll likely need to outperform Boog Powell (knee) and Jake Smolinski to claim those honors.

Fowler (knee) said last week that he anticipates playing in spring training games by Feb. 26, Jane Lee of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In a stroke of awful luck, Fowler hurt his knee in the first inning of his big-league debut with the Yankees, forcing him to miss the rest of the season. Close to seven months removed from surgery to repair a ruptured patella tendon, Fowler said he's "probably at 85 percent." He has been hitting, throwing and running for more than a month, and it sounds like he will be unrestricted for most of the spring. Fowler impressed against Triple-A competition as a 22-year-old before going down with the injury, flashing power and speed, and could force his way into the starting job in center with a strong showing in A's camp.

Fowler (knee) was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fowler's season ended in June after he suffered an open rupture in his right patella tendon during his MLB debut. Prior to injuring himself, Fowler appeared in 70 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season, hitting .293/.329/.542 with 13 homers and 13 stolen bases. He's expected to be ready for the start of 2018, and he'll get a chance to open the campaign as Oakland's starting center fielder.

The A's are happy with where Fowler stands in his recovery from knee surgery, Joe Stiglich of NBC Sports California reports.

EDGE Analysis

The A's said when they acquired Fowler in late July that they expected him to be ready for spring training, and he remains on that path. Barring any setbacks, Fowler will get a chance to open the 2018 campaign as Oakland's starting center fielder.

Fowler (knee) will be ready for spring training in 2018, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Oakland is planning on the 22-year-old being a part of their major-league roster next season, as well. Fowler still has a long way to go in his recovery from a ruptured patella tendon he sustained in late June, but the A's seem confident the young outfielder will healthy and ready to go for 2018.

The Yankees agreed to trade Fowler to the A's on Monday along with James Kaprielian and Jorge Mateo in exchange for Sonny Gray, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a trying few months for Fowler, as he suffered a season-ending knee injury in his major-league debut in June and is now set to change organizations. He was one of the bigger risers among prospects before suffering the ruptured patella tendon, having slashed .293/.329/.542 with 13 homers and 13 stolen bases in 70 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to begin the year. If his recovery goes as planned, Fowler could end up spending most of next season in center field for Oakland.

Fowler (knee) was moved to the 60-day DL on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This move was expected to come at some point following Fowler's season-ending knee injury earlier this week. In order to clear space on the 40-man roster with Clint Frazier's arrival, the team transferred Fowler over to the longer disabled list.

Fowler (knee) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Fowler was sent to the disabled list to clear a spot on the active roster. He's expected to miss the remainder of the season after suffering an open rupture in his right patella tendon during his MLB debut Thursday night. Miguel Andujar was recalled from Triple-A to take his place.

Manager Joe Girardi confirmed Thursday that Fowler (knee) will miss the remainder of the season after suffering an open rupture in his right patella tendon, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is devastating news for Fowler as it was clear from the moment he was diagnosed with the ruptured patella that he was due to miss extended time. According to Hoch, the Yankees believe Fowler will be sidelined for a minimum of six months before resuming baseball activities. Fowler's injury is the latest in a long line of promising Yankee prospects to go down with a significant injury this season alongside Gleyber Torres (elbow), James Kaprelian (elbow), and Greg Bird (ankle). With Aaron Hicks (oblique) also sidelined, the Yankees will be dangerously short on outfield depth until the All-Star break.

Fowler has been diagnosed with an open rupture in his right patella tendon and will undergo surgery Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is crushing news for Fowler, who was injured in the first inning of his major league debut Thursday. He sustained the injury crashing into the wall in foul territory at full speed and had to be carted off the field. Fowler is considered one of the top prospects in the Yankees' farm system and had earned his call-up to the majors on the strength of a .292/.329/.542 slash line to go with 13 home runs and eight triples at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The Yankees will have a clearer picture of his recovery timetable after he undergoes surgery Thursday, but Fowler's season appears to be in jeopardy.
