Stanton (knee) could return to action during the Yankees' next homestand, which begins Sept. 17, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Injuries have limited Stanton to just nine games this season, but the Yankees have a commanding division lead without him. They'll likely care most about getting him back for the playoffs, but he appears to have time to get around two weeks' worth of regular-season practice in before the postseason begins. "He's ramping up pretty good and he's getting close to where it's full baserunning," stated manager Aaron Boone, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. "He's doing his full defense already. We're going to have him slide and hopefully he'll be back in the mix with us sometime in the next week."

Stanton (knee) will head to Tampa to start engaging in regular live batting practice, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton participated in on-field batting practice in New York on Tuesday but will be able to get more at-bats in Tampa. Per Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger, Stanton is expected to spend time playing the outfield when he returns to action, so he'll likely continue to participate in defensive drills as well. The slugger has played in only nine games for the Yankees this season but is aiming to return by the end of September.

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.

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.
