Tanaka (concussion) played catch on the field at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Tanaka has yet to progress to throwing off a mound, Saturday's brief catch session is another positive indication that the right-hander is feeling fine after being struck on the head by a line drive off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton on Independence Day. With Opening Day less than two weeks away, it remains to be seen whether Tanaka will be fully stretched out -- or available at all -- at the start of the campaign.

Tanaka (concussion) completed some limited outside work Tuesday and Wednesday, and the Yankees are encouraged by his recovery from the line drive he took to the head Saturday, Marly Rivera of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering the impact of the 112-mph liner off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton that hospitalized Tanaka on Independence Day, the veteran pitcher's subsequent recovery has gone remarkably well. After being diagnosed with a mild concussion as a result of the scary incident, Tanaka has since rode a stationary bike and engaged in some outdoor work without experiencing any setbacks. The 31-year-old will still need to clear concussion protocol before he's cleared to return to the mound, but all signs point to Tanaka trending in the right direction in terms of being ready to pitch by Opening Day.

EDGE Analysis

Things are going just about as well as they could be for Tanaka after he was struck in the head by a Giancarlo Stanton line drive during live batting practice Saturday. He was diagnosed with a mild concussion but was released from the hospital that evening and was already showing no symptoms the day after the incident. He'll still have to clear concussion protocol before taking the field, but it's possible he winds up not missing any time to start the season.

Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Tanaka appears to have "dodged a bullet" and that the pitcher isn't showing any symptoms a day after his injury. The team said that it will monitor the right-hander's health on a daily basis. There is hope that Tanaka will be available for the start of the regular season, but it's unclear when he might resume throwing.

Tanaka was struck in the head by a Giancarlo Stanton liner during live batting practice Saturday afternoon. He was able to walk off the field with the help of trainers but experienced concussion-like symptoms, though a CT scan came back negative and he was able to be discharged from the hospital relatively quickly. He'll have to go through concussion protocol before returning to the field.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old was struck in the head by a line drive off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton during live batting practice Saturday, but manager Aaron Boone said, "we feel like we're getting good news" after the diagnosis. Overall, it's a good first step for Tanaka after the scare, especially since his concussion-like symptoms seem to be dissipating, per Marly Rivera of ESPN. Still, the right-hander figures to lay low until he officially clears the concussion protocol.

Tanaka remained conscious after the incident and was able to walk off the field with the assistance of team trainers. An update on his condition should be available after further tests.

Tanaka has returned from Japan and completed intake testing, and the team expects him to "hit the ground running" when workouts begin Saturday, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tanaka returned to Japan in late March, but the Yankees were able to keep up with his workouts while he was overseas. There was never serious doubt about the right-hander's readiness for the resumption of training camp, and he should be penciled in for a regular turn in the Yankees' rotation throughout the abbreviated 2020 campaign.

EDGE Analysis

Many foreign-born players are returning to their countries of origin, so this is not surprising or cause for alarm. The Yankees are not keeping close tabs on Tanaka, as he usually dictates his own preparations during the offseason.

Tanaka threw in the bullpen Sunday in order to keep his arm in shape, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Like most players who had already started ramping up their activity before play was suspended, Tanaka is faced with the dilemma of maintaining a training schedule while having no set date for the start of the regular season. With Monday's announcement that Opening Day will not take place for at least eight weeks and a corresponding recommendation by commissioner Rob Manfred to shut down all facilities (per Bob Nightengale of USA Today), it remains to be seen how Tanaka and other players will adjust their workouts.
