Stanton (elbows) is expected to be activated from the 60-day IL during the Yankees' upcoming home series against the Angels, which begins Monday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton kicked off a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday and has gone 3-for-11 with a double, a walk, four RBI and three strikeouts through three games. He took a rest day Friday and was slated to play again Saturday but isn't in Somerset's lineup; however, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports that Yankees manager Aaron Boone had previously indicated that Stanton might sit due to unfavorable weather. Regardless, Stanton isn't expected to be in Boston for New York's series finale against the Red Sox on Sunday, so Monday looks like the most likely date for the slugger's MLB season debut.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what the next step in his rehab will be, but Stanton could either continue working out in Tampa or head out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

With that hurdle seeming likely to be cleared in the near future, a tangible picture of the slugger's path to being activated from the IL is emerging.
