Stanton (knee) took batting practice, ran arcs, and participated in defensive drills Friday, but it is still unclear when he may return, Randy Miller of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton continues to ramp up his activity, but the Yankees remain vague about when he will be ready to return to game action. He may face live pitching next week, which would move him a step closer to potentially rejoining the big club. The slugger has played in only nine games this season as he has dealt with a variety of injuries.

Stanton (knee) is close to facing live pitching, though the Yankees have yet to provide a precise timeline, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has been out with a knee injury since late June. He's been ramping up his activity lately, advancing to on-field batting practice Tuesday, and still has time to play a part over the final few weeks of the season. The Yankees have reason to be cautious with him given that they hold a 10.5-game lead in their division.

EDGE Analysis
Stanton continues to ramp up his baseball activities, as he was once again able to participate in agility drills, and he's expected to take BP with the team as early as Tuesday. Assuming all goes according to plan, the slugger could head out on a rehab assignment in Tampa over the weekend.

Stanton (knee) is expected to start hitting on the field during New York's three-game series in Seattle, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has been able to take part in agility work on the field over the last few days, so he'll be cleared to take batting practice with the team sometime during his team's upcoming series. The slugger has been rehabbing from a strained PCL since June 26.

Stanton (knee) was seen running in the outfield prior to Tuesday's game at Oakland, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was last reported that Stanton was running up to 75-to-85 percent on an anti-gravity treadmill, so his progression to running on flat ground in good news for his recovery from the PCL strain. GM Brian Cashman said last week that the veteran slugger is expected to return in September, and the team is likely to remain cautious with his return while managing a comfortable lead in the AL East. Stanton has already resumed light baseball activities and should continue ramping things up, perhaps in advance of a rehab assignment.

General manager Brian Cashman said Thursday that he expects Stanton (knee) to be able to return in September, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list Aug. 25, but Cashman's update signals that Stanton will likely miss some extra time before returning to the major-league roster. He has resumed light baseball activities and is running up to 75-to-85 percent on the anti-gravity treadmill, but he could require a rehab assignment prior to his return. The Yankees have a firm grasp on the lead in the American League East, so the team likely will ensure his long-term health before rushing him back to the majors.

Stanton (knee) is running up to 75-to-85 percent on the anti-gravity treadmill and is closing in on a return to on-field workouts, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton isn't eligible to come off the injured list until Aug. 25, though he'll need to make significant progress over the next few weeks to be ready by that date. Considering he's been sidelined since June 26 with a knee strain, he'll likely need at least a handful of games in the minors to get back up to speed. It's also worth noting that New York has a firm grasp on the American League East, so there'll be no need to rush the slugger back into action before he's ready.

EDGE Analysis
This ensures that Stanton will not come off the injured list until Aug. 25, at the earliest. He resumed light baseball activity earlier this week but remains without a timetable to return.
