| News: Granderson is not in the starting lineup Friday, Andy McCullough of the Newark Star Ledger reports. | Impact: With a lefty on the mound, Granderson's absence may simply be a matchup-based decision Friday.

| News: Granderson, starting at DH, went 3-for-4 and stole a base in Thursday's loss to the Mariners. | Impact: Though he's struck out in all three games since returning, Granderson certainly seems healthy after an arm fracture kept him out for the first month and a half of the season.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Granderson made his season debut for the Yankees on Tuesday, going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run against the Mariners. | Impact: The Yankees batted Granderson fourth in the lineup, and it seems clear that he'll be kept in the heart of the order, given how shorthanded the team still is.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Granderson (forearm), who was activated from the DL, will start in left field and bat cleanup Tuesday against the Mariners. | Impact: Granderson slashed .400/.429/.550 across 20 at-bats in his rehab assignment at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. While he isn't playing his typical spot in center field, he should do so in time, as the outfield situation eventually works itself out.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Granderson (forearm), who will play in another rehab outing at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday, could be activated from the DL on Tuesday, YES Network reports. | Impact: Granderson has progressed well in his rehab, going 7-for-17 (.412) with one homer, three RBI, and two runs scored over four contests at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Since he appears to be in a comfort zone at the plate, he is clearly close to a return to action.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Granderson (forearm), who went 3-for-5 for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, is now 7-for-17 on his rehab assignment. | Impact: Granderson could be activated this week, but it's unclear exactly when, so those in weekly leagues will likely want to leave him on the bench for one more week. He looks like he should be ready to hit right away when he jumps back into the lineup.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Granderson (forearm) went 2-for-4 as the DH in his rehab game with Triple-A Scranton on Saturday, WFAN reports. | Impact: Granderson is on track to return this week. Manager Joe Girardi said there's a chance he could return to the majors as early as Tuesday, but unless something definitive comes out Sunday, weekly-league players may want to hold off on activating Granderson until the following week.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Granderson (forearm) homered in his second rehab game for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday, MLB.com reports. | Impact: Granderson has said that he feels good but hasn't yet been tested making long throws from the outfield.

| News: Granderson (forearm) will move his rehab assignment to Triple-A Scranton on Thursday, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. | Impact: Granderson has spent the last week playing rehab games at extended spring training, but with the move to Triple-A, he appears poised to rejoin the Yankees by perhaps next week. He'll provide the middle-of-the-order bat that's desperately missing with Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez and Kevin Youkilis all on the DL.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Granderson (forearm) played his fourth game in extended spring training Monday, the New York Post reports. | Impact: Granderson appears very close to heading out on a minor league rehab assignment, and could be just a few weeks away from returning to the Yankees.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Granderson (forearm) was not hurt when he was hit in the triceps with a pitch during his workout Saturday, and manager Joe Girardi added that "we might toy around with some other things" other than returning Granderson to center field given the production the Yankees are getting from Vernon Wells, the team's official site reports. | Impact: The Yankees were relieved that Granderson didn't suffer a setback when he was again hit by a pitch. They'll find a way to get his powerful bat in the lineup just about every day when he returns in a few weeks, but it may not be at his traditional center field spot.(RotoWire, ) |
