Hamilton (lat) will begin a rehab assignment Saturday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton was able to throw two innings in a simulated game Tuesday without any issue, and he's now been given the green light to pitch in minor-league games this weekend. The 29-year-old righty has been on the injured list since June with a right lat strain and will likely require multiple appearances in the minors before rejoining the Yankees' bullpen.

Hamilton (lat) is scheduled to toss a live bullpen session this week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton has recently been upping the intensity of his bullpen sessions, and because he's cleared that hurdle without any setbacks, he's now ready to face live hitters. The right-hander could subsequently move on to a minor-league rehab assignment and may be back in the big-league bullpen by the end of the month. Hamilton had been struggling prior to landing on the injured list, allowing eight runs (seven earned) over four innings spanning his previous four appearances.

Hamilton (lat) came out of his bullpen session Tuesday feeling fine and will toss another session Friday, per the Associated Press.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton is ramping back up as he looks to return from a lat strain he suffered in mid-June. Tuesday's bullpen was deemed as "high intensity," so the fact that he emerged without any setbacks suggests that he's getting closer to a minor-league rehab assignment. Hamilton may be asked to toss live batting practice before heading to an affiliate, though.

Hamilton (lat) is scheduled to throw a high-intensity bullpen session Tuesday, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton is recovering from the lat strain he suffered in mid-June. The righty reliever resumed throwing in early July but has yet to face live hitters. That could be his next step if Tuesday's session goes well, and Hamilton may be able to begin a minor-league rehab assignment within the next two weeks with a goal of rejoining the Yankees in late August or early September.

Hamilton (lat) is expected to be cleared to throw live batting practice soon, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton has been shelved since mid-June with a right lat strain but is almost ready to take the next step in his recovery. There's no timetable for the reliever's return yet, but he wouldn't appear far off from a rehab assignment if all goes well.

Manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Hamilton (lat) has begun a throwing program, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton was slated to be shut down from throwing for 3-to-4 weeks after a mid-grade lat strain sent him to the injured list June 18, so he seems to still be right on schedule in his rehab process. The Yankees have yet to set a target return date for the 29-year-old, but a timeline may emerge once he's thrown a few bullpen sessions.

Hamilton (lat) has been rehabbing but hasn't yet resumed throwing, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton landed on the injured list June 18 due to a mid-grade right lat strain. Initial expectations were that he would be shut down from throwing for 3-to-4 weeks, so it's not surprising that the reliever hasn't yet reached that part of his rehab. Hamilton isn't likely to return to the Yankees' bullpen until after the All-Star break.

The Yankees placed Hamilton on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right lat strain, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton will be shut down from throwing for 3-to-4 weeks and will need time to ramp back up after that, so it's going to be an extended absence. It's not clear how long Hamilton's lat had been bothering him, but he had been struggling lately in allowing eight runs (seven earned) over his last four appearances.

The Yankees reinstated Hamilton from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton landed on the IL on May 20, and he'll now return to the Yankees' bullpen after being out of action for one day more than the seven-day minimum. The 28-year-old sports a 3.18 ERA through 22.2 innings this season, and he figures to slide right back into a high-leverage role now that he's healthy.

Hamilton (illness) is expected to be activated from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamilton was eligible to return for Sunday's series finale in San Diego, but the team will ultimately end up giving him a couple extra days off before he is added to the active roster ahead of New York's three-game series on the road against the Angels beginning Tuesday. Yoendrys Gomez was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, opening a spot on the 26-man roster for Hamilton.
