Manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Britton (elbow) could "definitely" be activated during the current road trip, which runs through June 17 against the Blue Jays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old has made four rehab appearances between Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barres over the past couple weeks, and he's on the cusp of rejoining the active roster. Britton has been on the shelf since undergoing surgery to remove a bone chip and loose bodies from his left elbow in late March. The veteran lefty has struggled in said rehab outings with six runs allowed over 3.1 innings, so the Yankees may want to give him another appearance or two in the minors before activating him from the 60-day injured list.

Britton (elbow) allowed four runs on three hits and one walk while recording his only out via strikeout Tuesday in an appearance with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

EDGE Analysis

Britton was moved up to the Triple-A club to continue rehabbing from March elbow surgery, but he was far from sharp in the outing. The southpaw threw only 13 of 24 pitches for strikes and served up a two-run double as well as a two-run home run. Recent reports have indicated that Britton could return during the Yankees' current road trip, but he figures to need at least one strong rehab appearance before rejoining the club.

Britton's (elbow) rehab assignment was transferred to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Reports from over the weekend indicated Britton could return during the Yankees' current road trip, which runs from Tuesday through June 17. He won't be back at the start of the trip, as he'll likely make an appearance or two at the Triple-A level, but he should be back in the big leagues before too long.

Britton (elbow) said he could return on the team's next road trip, which is set to begin Tuesday in Minnesota, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Britton didn't note a specific target date, but he did mention the upcoming road trip or the following homestand as the time range for his return. The southpaw has missed the entire season up to this point with a bone chip and loose bodies in his elbow. He'll make a few more appearances during his rehab assignment before rejoining the Yankees, likely within the next 10 days.

Britton (elbow) completed one inning for Double-A Somerset on Wednesday, allowing two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out two.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran reliever tossed a scoreless frame in his first rehab outing but was less effective Wednesday. Britton threw only 15 of 27 pitches for strikes and served up a two-run homer. He is slated to make 1-2 more rehab appearances before likely rejoining the Yankees next week.

Britton (elbow) began a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Saturday and is expected to need at least four appearances before returning to the active roster, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran lefty underwent surgery in mid March to remove a bone chip and loose bodies from his elbow. His timeline suggests he's still over a week away, but it shouldn't be long before he's back in his setup role in front of Aroldis Chapman

Britton (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Saturday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Britton had previously been scheduled to start his rehab assignment back in mid May before suffering a setback. The issue was a minor one, however, as he checked out fine following a doctor's visit and was throwing again within a week. He threw a bullpen session Monday and felt good the next day, so he'll throw one more later in the week before finally embarking on his rehab assignment.

Britton (elbow) may begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset if his next bullpen session goes well, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty reliever has yet to pitch this season after undergoing elbow surgery in mid March. He has progressed to tossing bullpens, however, and appears to be on the verge of taking part in a minor-league rehab stint. Manager Aaron Boone indicated Sunday that Britton would likely need five rehab outings before joining the big club, so he isn't likely to return to the majors until early June.

Britton (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Sunday and could begin a rehab stint thereafter, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Britton experienced some soreness after tossing a simulated game earlier this week, but the issue appears to have been minor. If he doesn't encounter any additional setbacks, the left-hander could return in early June. Britton logged a 1.89 ERA and eight saves for the Yankees last season, and he's expected to fill a high-leverage role again upon his return.

Britton (elbow) "checked out well" at Tuesday's doctor visit and may resume his throwing program this weekend, Bryan Hoch of MLB.comreports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran reliever visited a doctor after experiencing soreness from his recent simulated game, but the setback doesn't appear to be major. Assuming good health, Britton figures to slot into a high-leverage relief role upon returning to the Yankees' active roster.
