The Yankees will likely decide on a return date for Stanton (hamstring) by the end of next week, per MLB.com.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton ran the bases on the field Friday in his most recent step toward recovering from a strained left hamstring. Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that the slugger "is in a pretty good spot" in terms of his progress and indicated that a return is a matter of building stamina. There hasn't been a decision made yet about whether Stanton will go on a rehab assignment -- if he foregoes that route, he could be back in the Yankees' lineup at some point during their series in Boston that begins Friday.
