Stanton (shoulder) wasn't in the lineup for High-A Tampa on Tuesday due to some soreness in his calf/knee area, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton was expected to be in the lineup as part of his minor-league rehab stint, but had the calf/knee issue crop up after being hit by a pitch during live batting practice a couple days ago. Overall it's good news that the slugger didn't experience a setback with his left shoulder. The leg issue isn't considered serious and the 29-year-old may be able to rejoin Tampa's lineup Wednesday to continue his rehab.

Stanton (shoulder) is not in the lineup for High-A Tampa on Tuesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a surprise, as manager Aaron Boone said earlier in the day that the plan was for Stanton to play in a couple more rehab games with Tampa before advancing up to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. It's unclear if Stanton experienced a setback or if the team simply decided to change Stanton's travel plans based on the RailRiders' schedule. Stanton homered and struck out twice in his first rehab game Monday.

Stanton (shoulder) will "probably not" be ready to return to the Yankees during this weekend's series in Kansas City, according to manager Aaron Boone, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boone did note that Stanton may move his rehab to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this weekend, so it seems like we could see him back early next week for the home series against the Padres.

Stanton (shoulder) went 1-for-3 with a home run and two strikeouts in his rehab appearance for High-A Tampa on Monday, Conor Foley of The Times-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first rehab start, Stanton homered in his second at-bat for Tampa before getting pulled from the contest in the seventh inning. It was a good first step for the veteran slugger, who will likely make more rehab appearances in the minors this week and hopefully be able to make a return to the big club before the start of June.

Stanton (shoulder) reported to High-A Tampa on Monday to begin a rehab assignment.

EDGE Analysis

As anticipated, the Yankees cleared Stanton to move to the final phase of his recovery from the shoulder injury he incurred while rehabbing the strained biceps that first forced him to the injured list April 1. Stanton checked out fine while facing live pitching over the weekend and will now test out his health by taking swings in a non-controlled setting. He'll presumably work as a designated hitter for Tampa first before seeing action in the outfield, but the Yankees haven't formally outlined his rehab schedule just yet. In any case, Stanton would seem poised to return to the Yankees before the end of the month if he avoids any further setbacks.

Stanton (shoulder) has been facing live pitching and should begin a rehab assignment Monday, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was hit on the knee by a pitch Friday, but he checked out OK. Stanton will head to High-A Tampa for his rehab assignment Monday, assuming everything goes smoothly over the next couple days. It is unclear how long the assignment will be, but it seems possible that he could be an option in weekly leagues for the final week of May.

Stanton's official diagnosis is a left shoulder strain, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees have been vague about the exact nature of Stanton's injury, with manager Aaron Boone giving evasive answers when he was asked Tuesday, but the club later clarified the outfielder is dealing with a strain to the shoulder that has been keeping him out of action. There's still no timetable for a return for Stanton, however, he's started to face live pitching and do defensive work at extended spring training, which hopefully means there's a rehab stint in his near future.

Stanton (shoulder) took live at-bats at extended spring training Monday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This marks a step in the right direction for Stanton, who had been limited to soft toss and tee work prior to his live BP session. The slugger also did some defensive work, though it remains to be seen when he'll return to game action. A timetable for Stanton's return will hopefully come into focus once he's cleared to begin a rehab stint.

Stanton (shoulder) remains limited to soft toss and tee work, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton could be cleared to hit off a machine soon if he experiences no setbacks in the coming days. The veteran slugger is taking baby steps in his recovery from a shoulder injury that he suffered while rehabbing a biceps strain. An updated timetable for Stanton's return likely won't emerge until he's further along in his rehab.

Manager Aaron Boone said Stanton (shoulder) will start ramping up his activities Monday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton will go through a pair of "light" workouts Saturday and Sunday, and if everything goes off without a hitch, the veteran slugger will be cleared to ramp things up from there. Look for an updated timetable for his return to emerge once he's cleared to increase his activities.
