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.

Stanton (knee) resumed light baseball activities Wednesday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton was able to throw and hit off a tee, which is encouraging progress for the veteran slugger, who has been sidelined for more than a month with a right knee injury. He's also been running on an anti-gravity treadmill, per Lindsey Adler of The Athletic. Despite the encouraging progress, Stanton remains without a clear return timeline.

Stanton (knee) is still not doing baseball activities, David Lennon of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Aaron Boone said Stanton has been making slow progress in his rehab from a right knee injury. It sounds like he is without a timetable to return, with an activation in mid August seeming like the best-case scenario.

Stanton (knee) has yet to resume baseball activities, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton was activated off the injured list in mid-June but lasted only a week in the lineup before returning to the shelf with a right knee sprain. The veteran slugger isn't expected to rejoin the Yankees in July and his recovery timeline is unlikely to come into focus until he begins taking part in baseball activities.

General manager Brian Cashman said Thursday that he doesn't expect Stanton (knee) to return from the 10-day injured list in July, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton exited Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays with what was initially labeled as a right knee contusion, but a follow-up MRI revealed that he was actually dealing with a strained PCL. While Cashman didn't pinpoint an exact timeline for Stanton's return, he called August "the sweet spot" for when the slugger might resume playing again, per Hoch. With Stanton on the shelf for at least a month, Brett Gardner is expected to settle back into an everyday role in the outfield. Clint Frazier could also be recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the near future to offer another alternative while Stanton is sidelined.

Stanton (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
This was expected after it was revealed that Stanton is dealing with a right PCL strain. The slugger will be reevaluated in 10 days, at which point a timetable for his return will hopefully emerge; at this point, it seems likely that he'll be sidelined through the All-Star break. Mike Tauchman was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move, while Brett Gardner figures to see the majority of time in left field in place of Stanton.

Stanton (knee) will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton exited Tuesday's game with what was originally thought to be a right knee contusion, though after further evaluation it was revealed that the slugger is dealing with a strained PCL. This is a tough break for Stanton, who just returned from a lengthy stay on the injured list last week. According to Adler, Stanton will be reevaluated in 10 days, at which point a timetable for his return will hopefully emerge. Mike Tauchman will replace Stanton on the roster, while Brett Gardner -- who is starting in place of Stanton on Wednesday -- will likely benefit the most.
