Manager Aaron Boone said Bader (foot) began hitting off a tee Tuesday and is in a "10-day ramp up" to start a rehab assignment, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old recently resumed baseball activities and is now ramping up his rehab work in preparation for seeing game action. If the 10-day timeline holds, Bader should be playing in minor-league game by the second week of September and could make his Yankees debut in the middle of the month.

Bader (foot) has resumed baseball activities and will begin a running program Saturday, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Bader has been playing long toss and, according to the Associated Press, has begun swinging a bat. He was recently transferred to the 60-day IL, but that doesn't impact his return timeline since he's nearly eligible to be activated. Bader will likely need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before making his Yankees debut, but he's expected to be ready to play in early-to-mid-September.

Bader (foot) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bader has been on the injured list since June 27 and is targeting a September return, so his move to the 60-day IL shouldn't significantly impact his recovery timetable. It's not yet clear when the 28-year-old will be able to begin a rehab assignment, but he'll presumably require some time in the minors to ramp back up following his lengthy absence.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Tuesday that Bader (foot) is unlikely to make his return from the 10-day injured list until September, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cashman's comments came after the Yankees acquired Bader from the Cardinals shortly before the trade deadline in exchange for starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery. Bader, who is currently confined to a walking boot while he recovers from plantar fasciitis in his right foot, projects as a potential upgrade in the outfield over Aaron Hicks, though Bader won't be a lock to be included in the Yankees' everyday lineup once healthy.

Bader (foot) was traded from the Cardinals to the Yankees on Tuesday in exchange for Jordan Montgomery, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bader has been on the injured list since late June with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, but that didn't prevent the Yankees from bringing him in at the trade deadline. The 28-year-old is expected to be in a walking boot for another week or two, so he's unlikely to be available for his new team until at least late August. When healthy Bader should man center field for New York, which will significantly improve the outfield defense and allow Aaron Judge to stay in right field.

Bader (foot) will be in a walking boot for 1-2 weeks, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bader is slowing down his rehab after his follow-up appointment Wednesday, and he won't take part in any baseball activities while he's in a walking boot. Although the 28-year-old won't require surgery, it seems likely that he'll be sidelined until at least mid-to-late August.

Bader (foot) is expected to be shut down for a matter of weeks, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bader has been dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot since late June, and he had a follow-up appointment Wednesday that confirmed his diagnosis but also revealed he won't require surgery. However, he'll need more time to rest and doesn't yet have a timetable to rejoin the Cardinals.

Bader (foot) is unlikely to be activated for next week's series in Toronto, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

EDGE Analysis

He came through Friday's rehab game just OK, reporting soreness in his right foot the next day. He was scratched from Saturday's planned appearance, so Bader may have even experienced a slight setback. With the series in Toronto ruled out, the soonest he could return is July 29 in Washington.

Bader (foot) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bader has been on the injured list since late June due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot, and he progressed to light jogging shortly before the All-Star break. The 28-year-old has now been cleared to return to game action in the minors. Bader should be in the mix to rejoin the Cardinals next week.

Bader (foot) confirmed Thursday that he won't return from the 10-day injured list prior to the All-Star break, Jim Hayes of Bally Sports Midwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bader has resumed a running program in recent days, but he'll still need at least another week to recover from plantar fasciitis in his right foot. The Cardinals will likely re-evaluate Bader immediately following the break, at which point he could be ready to go out on a minor-league rehab assignment.
