New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is getting the day off on Tuesday as the team takes on right-hander Frankie Montas and the Oakland Athletics. Aaron Judge will be slotting in as designated hitter for the game and Marwin Gonzalez and Joey Gallo will be the team's corner outfielders. Stanton has homered in two straight games and in four of his last five outings, giving him a total of 18 bombs on the year. The 32-year-old slugger owns a .243/.331/.514 slash line on the season to go along with 49 RBI and 29 runs.

Joey Gallo will be covering right field while Anthony Rizzo will be filling in as designated hitter.

Expect to see him back in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Chicago Cubs.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is taking the day off on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers. Stanton was activated from the injured list on Saturday and went 1-for-4 with a double, but he'll get a day off in the series finale against Detroit. The 32-year-old has been a must-start this year when on the field, as he's hitting .284/.337/.523 with an .860 OPS, 11 home runs, 35 RBI and 15 runs scored in 172 plate appearances over 41 games. Josh Donaldson will serve as the DH and bat cleanup, while DJ LeMahieu gets the start at third base and is hitting leadoff on Sunday against Tigers right-hander Rony Garcia. LeMahieu has been hot at the plate recently and makes for a solid DFS target out of the leadoff spot for the Yanks.

The New York Yankees reinstated outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (ankle) from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Stanton is immediately back in the lineup as the DH and is batting cleanup on Saturday against Detroit Tigers right-hander Beau Brieske. The 32-year-old slugger will return from right ankle inflammation that has been bothering him since late May. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their starting lineups immediately. In 40 games before going on the injured list, Stanton was hitting .285/.339/.523 with an .862 OPS, 11 home runs, 35 RBI and 15 runs scored in 168 plate appearances. Matt Carpenter had been seeing time as the DH against right-handers with Stanton out, but he'll now head to the bench.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (ankle) took batting practice on the field before Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels, and the Yankees are encouraged that he could come off the injured list later this week. The 32-year-old slugger also took part in a light running workout on Tuesday, so he's on the cusp of returning from right ankle inflammation. It sounds like Stanton could have a brief minor league rehab assignment before potentially returning to the lineup by this Saturday. He should be stashed in all fantasy leagues, as he was hitting an excellent .285/.339/.523 with an .862 OPS, 11 home runs, 35 RBI and 15 runs scored in 40 games before he landed on the injured list.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (ankle) was sent to the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. It was originally stated that he was dealing with a right calf strain. However, late Wednesday, Yankees manager Aaron Boone clarified that Stanton was instead dealing with ankle inflammation. Boone made it sound as if he isn't too concerned about Stanton's injury and that there's a chance that Stanton is only out for the minimum 10 days. Joey Gallo returned from the COVID-19 injured list on Wednesday and he should see a bump in playing time with Stanton out. Utility man Marwin Gonzalez could also be counted on more than usual over the next 10 days.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He is dealing with a right calf strain, but the severity of the injury is unknown right now. In a corresponding move, the Yankees have activated Joey Gallo off the COVID-19 injured list. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth versus right-hander Tyler Wells on Wednesday. Fantasy managers will have to wait for more updates on Stanton. The hope is that Stanton will only be forced to miss the minimum 10 days.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is set to undergo an MRI on his right calf on Wednesday morning. The 32-year-old exited Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles due to right calf tightness. The results of the MRI will help give us an indication of how much time Stanton could miss - if any. The veteran has launched 11 home runs over 40 games so far this year while slashing .285/.339/.523. Joey Gallo, who is currently on the COVID-19 injured list, could stand to see extra playing time upon his return if Stanton winds up on the injured list.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles due to right calf tightness. The 32-year-old went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before exiting. Estevan Florial replaced Stanton in the seventh inning. He will undergo further evaluation and remains day-to-day. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation as more information should be available after the game. Stanton is slashing .285/.339/.523 with 11 home runs, 35 RBI, and 15 runs scored over 166 plate appearances in 2022. With Joey Gallo already on the COVID-19 IL, Florial should see an uptick in playing time while Stanton is sidelined. Stay tuned for further updates.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Fantasy managers don't need to be concerned as this appears to be a routine day off for the veteran slugger. Marwin Gonzalez will draw the start in right field and bat eighth versus right-hander Jordan Lyles. There isn't much streaming appeal here with Gonzalez. Fantasy managers should expect Stanton to return after this game.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton launched a pair of two-run homers on Thursday to help pace his offense to a 15-7 win over the White Sox. He victimized Dylan Cease in his first two at-bats of the ball game to bring his total to nine on the season as he finished the game going 3-for-4 with six RBI and three runs scored. Stanton has now homered in three of his past four games while going 6-for-16 in that span to up his BA to .277 and his RBI total to 28 to sit second in the AL. As long as he can stay on the field, the 32-year-old always has a chance to put up mouth-watering power numbers by season's end.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Aaron Judge, who hit a walk-off home run to beat Toronto on Tuesday, will serve as the designated hitter and bat second against Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios. Utility man Marwin Gonzalez will start in right field and hit eighth in the lineup. Along with the rest of the Yankees, Stanton is having a solid start to his season, hitting .259/.291/.463 with seven home runs, 22 RBI and nine runs scored in his first 28 games played. Judge has been even better, making an early case for MVP by hitting .290/.356/.626 with a .982 OPS, a league-leading 10 home runs, 22 RBI, 21 runs scored and two stolen bases.

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-4 with a single and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays. The sixth-inning, opposite-field shot just cleared the right-field wall for Stanton's seventh HR of the season. The veteran hasn't provided quite as much power as fantasy managers were hoping for to this point, slashing .259/.291/.463 with 22 RBI in his first 117 plate appearances. That being said, he hasn't done poorly and benefits from hitting in a strong lineup. Fantasy managers should continue to keep him in their lineups with the hopes that his power swing will fully come around sooner rather than later.

The 32-year-old has gotten off to a decent start to the season, slashing .256/.289/.433 with five HR and 16 RBI over 97 plate appearances. The power hasn't quite been there yet for Stanton, but he is still hitting the ball harder than almost all hitters, so fantasy managers should be patient.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton helped the team complete a three-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles to start the week. He went 5-for-11 at the plate in the series, compiling one home run, one walk and five RBI. The 32-year-old slugger is now slashing .243/.257/.386 with three home runs, 13 RBI and four runs over 18 games on the year. His 96.7 mph average exit velocity and 118.8 mph max exit velocity both lead the majors and he has a 99th percentile barrel rate (23.4%). Despite those gaudy power metrics, his HR/FB rate is currently sitting at 20%, down from his career 26.6% clip. That suggests that Stanton has had some bad home run luck so far and that we are likely to see an uptick in bombs from him in the coming weeks.

Josh Donaldson is slotting in as designated hitter for the game while Aaron Judge is covering right field. Yankees manager Aaron Boone has been working in rest days for all of the Yankees' regulars.

The veteran slugger possesses huge power upside in his bat, although he appeared in just 41 total games combined from 2019 to 2020.
