Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Yet to resume running since setback
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Stanton (calf) has yet to resume running since he suffered a setback with his strained right calf in early June, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Stanton has been doing some work on the treadmill, but he's not ready to run on the field yet and there's no timetable for him to do so. Boone added Monday that he expects Stanton to return at some point later this season, but no timeline for the designated hitter's activation will surface until he's able to ramp up activities with no encumbrances.

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Resumes running program
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Stanton (calf) has restarted a running program and will take live at-bats against rehabbing left-hander Max Fried (elbow) on Tuesday, David Lennon of Newsday reports.
Stanton paused his running program after experiencing a setback with his strained right calf June 11, so the Yankees could have the 36-year-old ramp up more deliberately this time around before he starts sprinting at full speed. Since Stanton has been on the shelf since April 28 due to the calf injury, he'll presumably need to complete a minor-league rehab assignment before making his return from the 10-day injured list. Stanton appears unlikely to rejoin the New York lineup until after the All-Star break.

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Reinjures calf
Rotowire
The Yankees announced that Stanton (calf) reinjured his calf and will have a slow week of activities, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Stanton has been on the injured list since April 28 and may not be close to coming back anytime soon. Prior to his injury, the 36-year-old was slashing .256/.302/.422 with three homers in 96 plate appearances. The Yankees will likely continue to rotate Ben Rice and Paul Goldschmidt at DH in Stanton's extended absence.
Stanton tweaked his injured right calf while running the bases this week, and he may need to undergo more medical imaging, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Stanton had been ramping up toward a return to action, and manager Aaron Boone suggested Saturday that the slugger had been expected to be activated during the early portion of the Yankees' upcoming homestand, which begins Tuesday. That plan is now in peril, though it's unclear at this point how much Stanton's setback will push back his timeline.
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Ruled out for road trip
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Stanton (calf) will not be activated from the 10-day injured list during the team's June 8-14 road trip, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Stanton took live batting practice Wednesday and will do so again Saturday as he ramps things up, but he's still more than a week away from rejoining the active roster. It's unclear whether the Yankees will ask him to play rehab games before returning, but Stanton is tracking toward activation around mid-June.
Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Stanton (calf) is scheduled to face live pitching Wednesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The veteran slugger has been on the shelf since late April due a right calf strain, and going up against live pitching is a significant step in his recovery program. Stanton also returned to running outside over the weekend, as he appears to be in the final stages of his rehab work. It remains to be seen if he'll require a rehab assignment before being activated, but a quick trip to the minors wouldn't be surprising given how long Stanton has been out.

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Takes step forward in recovery
Rotowire
Stanton (calf) has begun running outside, per MLB.com.
It's a notable step in Stanton's movement toward a return to action, as he hadn't previously been cleared to run. The slugger underwent imaging earlier this week, and the encouraging results of those tests prompted team doctors to allow Stanton to begin running. It's still not clear when the 36-year-old will be ready to be activated from the injured list though, and he may need a rehab assignment first given that he hasn't played since late April.
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Will get imaging during coming week
Rotowire
Stanton (calf) is slated to undergo imaging in the next week, per MLB.com.
Stanton has been hitting and doing plyometric exercises, but he's yet to clear the big obstacle of being able to run. Should the imaging look good, the slugger could be ready for the next step in his rehab. Stanton hasn't played in a game since April 24, so he'll probably need a rehab assignment before returning to the Yankees' lineup.

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Still not cleared for running
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Stanton (calf) is doing "more dynamic stuff" but isn't yet ready to ramp up running, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
It's not clear what the "dynamic stuff" Boone mentioned refers to, but Stanton's biggest obstacle remains being cleared to resume running. The veteran slugger had an MRI on his injured calf May 11, and that imaging showed that the injury is still lingering. Stanton's timeline to return is hazy given his continued inability to run, so fantasy managers shouldn't plan to have him in their lineups in the near future.
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Not cleared to ramp up running
Rotowire
Stanton has not yet been cleared to ramp up his running after an MRI on his injured right calf did not show enough healing, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Stanton suffered a calf strain nearly three weeks ago, and his progress hasn't come as quickly as hoped. It could be a short window of time between when Stanton is cleared to ramp up his running and when he returns to the active roster, but until the former happens, his timeline remains murky. Spencer Jones has been getting playing time in Stanton's place after Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) joined Stanton on the injured list.
