Stanton went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts in Tuesday's win over Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton was the only Yankees starter who did not register a hit in the 20-6 rout, but some rust was to be expected after the slugger missed over five weeks with a left hamstring strain. The good news is that Stanton made it through the contest without suffering any setbacks before he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. Per Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated, Stanton will get the day off Wednesday but will be back in the lineup Thursday as part of a plan to build him up slowly.

Stanton (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton spent just over a month on the injured list while recovering from a hamstring strain, but he took part in several simulated games recently. The 30-year-old could be eased back into a regular role in an attempt to keep him healthy ahead of the playoffs. Stanton played in just 14 games prior to his injury, slashing .293/.453/.585 with three home runs and seven RBI.

Stanton (hamstring) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list later this week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton took part in his second straight simulated game Monday and appears to be making good progress as he works his way back from a hamstring strain which has already kept him out for over a month. He's expected to be eased back into a regular role upon his return, as the Yankees' primary concern is making sure he's ready for the playoffs, which they're still quite likely to make given the expanded format this season despite their mediocre performance to date.

Stanton (hamstring) will get two or three at-bats in during a simulated game Sunday at the alternate training site, Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated reports.

EDGE Analysis

If all goes well, he will do the same Monday as he tracks toward an activation sometime next week. Aaron Judge is also close to joining Stanton and Gio Urshela at the alternate site, so the Yankees could be getting three key bats back sometime next week.

Stanton (hamstring) has a good chance to return from the injured list by next weekend, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton is expected to receive some at-bats at the Yankees' alternate training site within the next few days, with an eye toward returning soon after that. The oft-injured outfielder played in just 14 games this season before straining his hamstring, though he looked as good as ever over that stretch, hitting .293/.453/.585.

Stanton (hamstring) has been performing baseball activities and running up to about 80 percent, Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Yankees manager Aaron Boone, Stanton has turned a corner and could be ahead of fellow outfielder Aaron Judge (calf) in terms of a recovery timeline. "Giancarlo has had a really good several days. Think he ran some bases (Friday). Kind of half-speed running. He's up to about 80 percent running. He's been doing a lot of baseball activities as far as hitting off the high-velocity machine, throwing. So he's probably, possibly a little head of Judgey," Boone stated. Stanton has been on the injured list since Aug. 9 with a left hamstring strain.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Stanton (hamstring) did not participate in baseball activities Sunday and is "still not all the way there," Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton has been on the injured list since Aug. 9. General manager Brian Cashman suggested Friday that the slugger was at least a week away, but it's reasonable to hold off on any expectations of Stanton returning at the early end of that timeframe given Boone's comments Sunday. "He's still not all the way there," Boone said. "Doing well. Good progressions and stuff. Today's a very light day for him. No baseball activities. But he's not all the way out of the woods yet as far as the injury. But he is running at about 75-80 percent. Hitting and doing all that stuff is not a problem yet. We just want to make sure we get him to the finish line with the injury."

Stanton (hamstring) is at least a week away from returning, according to general manager Brian Cashman, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was just reported that Aaron Judge (calf) will be out another three weeks, so Stanton figures to beat him back into the Yankees lineup. That said, it could be more than a week for Stanton, so an early September return seems like the best-case scenario.

Stanton (hamstring) is expected to return in two or three weeks, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton hit .293/.453/585 through 14 games this season before suffering yet another injury, landing on the injured list in early August with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain. He's expected to resume baseball activities soon, but he won't return until the start of September unless things progress faster than expected.

Stanton was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain Tuesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The diagnosis, which comes after Stanton underwent an MRI on Monday, is comparatively good news, as a Grade 1 strain is the least severe type of strain, though a standard return timeline from such an injury is usually three or four weeks, which represents a sizable portion of the remaining schedule. The Yankees have yet to give an official estimate for the slugger's return. Mike Ford handled designated hitter duties Sunday in his absence.
