Stanton is fully recovered from his biceps strain but received a cortisone injection in his left shoulder, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has been out since the start of April with the left biceps strain and isn't expected to begin ramping up his swinging until the Red Sox arrive in Arizona next Tuesday. The nature of the shoulder issue and his recovery timetable remains unclear, but Stanton seems likely to remain sidelined for the next couple of weeks, at least.

Stanton (biceps) has continued to make solid progress, although he'll likely need to complete a rehab assignment prior to returning and could be out for another 10 days, SNY reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton still hasn't played in the month of April due to a biceps strain, but he's trending in the right direction. "He's swinging the bat, he's having great batting practice sessions." stated general manager Brian Cashman. "He is responding well and feeling stronger." When asked if Stanton is at least 10 days from returning, Cashman responded with "maybe." Though this statement from the team's GM is vague, it sounds unlikely that the slugger will be back with the team before proving his health on a rehab stint. According to SNY, Stanton could be headed to Florida for more rehab later in the week before embarking on a minor-league assignment.

Stanton (biceps) could return during the Yankees' upcoming road trip, which runs from April 22 to May 1, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A biceps strain has kept Stanton out of action since the start of the month. The Yankees haven't set a clear target date for his return, but he's been hitting off a pitching machine in recent days and could be ready for a rehab assignment soon.

Manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Stanton (biceps) "hit off a machine with some intensity," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton had been limited to hitting off a tee, so this is a step forward for the slugger. Despite the positive progress, it remains to be seen whether Stanton will be ready to rejoin the Yankees during their upcoming west coast road trip, which begins Monday and runs through May 1. Look for a more concrete return date to come into focus once he begins to face live pitching.

Stanton (biceps) participated in some tee and soft-toss work Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton began swinging a bat Wednesday, and while it's good to see that he's slowly progressing, the Yankees still haven't released a concrete timetable for his return to game action. A return date should become more clear once he begins to face live pitching.

EDGE Analysis
Stanton is slightly ahead of schedule, as he wasn't originally expected to resume swinging until this weekend. The slugger is trending in the right direction, though he'll likely remain without a timetable for his return until he's further along in his rehab.

Stanton (biceps) could resume swinging a bat when the Yankees return to New York next weekend, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton is in the midst of a 10-day shutdown period before the Yankees clear him to start up baseball activities again. It's expected that he'll be limited to dry swings initially, but he could hit against soft-tossing pitching soon after that if he's healed from the left biceps strain as anticipated. The Yankees haven't ruled out a late-April return for the slugging outfielder.

Stanton (biceps) could return in three weeks, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton was placed on the injured list with a biceps strain Monday and will avoid all baseball activities for 10 days. He'll then have to get back in game shape following that shutdown period, so a three-week absence appears to be a reasonable target. Clint Frazier should see regular game time in the near future with Aaron Hicks (back) also out.

Stanton will be shut down from all baseball activities for 10 days due to his strained left biceps, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton reportedly suffered the injury while swinging. He'll still need to work his way back after the shutdown period, so the Yankees are currently framing his return date as "sometime this month."
