Sun Aug 21 2022 | 11:11 | Giancarlo Stanton Goes Hitless In First Rehab Game |
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts while serving as the designated hitter and batting second on Saturday in his first minor league rehab game with Double-A Somerset. Stanton has been on the injured list since July 23, but as long as he doesn't suffer a setback on his rehab assignment, he's expected to rejoin the Yankees lineup at some point next week. The 32-year-old slugger could return for the start of a series against the Oakland Athletics next Thursday. Stanton is hitting just .228 on the season, but he also has 24 home runs, 61 RBI and 40 runs scored in 289 at-bats, making him a must-start in fantasy for his power. |

Sat Aug 20 2022 | 14:01 | Giancarlo Stanton Could Return Next Week |
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) could return sometime next week, according to Kes Rosenthal of Fox Sports MLB. The hard-hitting 32-year-old is slated to begin his rehab assignment on Saturday with Double-A Somerset and could return to the Yankees as early as next week if all goes well. Stanton has been out since late July with left Achilles tendinitis, and the Yankee lineup has struggled mightily without him. Barring any setbacks, he will provide a massive boost to New York and fantasy managers as September quickly approaches. |

Fri Aug 19 2022 | 16:58 | Giancarlo Stanton To Begin Rehab Assignment Saturday |
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) is expected to start a minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Saturday, according to skipper Aaron Boone. It means that Stanton could rejoin the struggling Yankees lineup as early as next week. He's been out since July 23 and although he's hit just .228 on the season, his return will inject some much-needed injury for the Bronx Bombers. The 32-year-old is a must-start in fantasy lineups when he's on the field, as he's also racked up 24 home runs, 61 RBI and 40 runs scored in 289 at-bats on the year before his injury. There's a chance the Yankees ease Stanton back and use him as the designated hitter when he initially returns from the injured list. |

Boone stated that he's hoping that Stanton will begin a rehab assignment this weekend. If things go smoothly on that front, Stanton could be back in the majors at some point next week. The 32-year-old has been out since July 23 due to soreness in his left Achilles tendon. Over 80 games this year, he's slashed .228/.309/.498 with 24 home runs, 61 RBI and 40 runs. |

Mon Aug 15 2022 | 19:34 | Giancarlo Stanton Goes Through Full Workout |
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) went through a full workout on Monday before the team's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He's been out since July 24 with soreness in his left Achilles tendon, and he's missed the last 20 games. Stanton will repeat the pre-game workout for the next couple of days, after which he could embark on a minor league rehab assignment. The 32-year-old slugger is hoping to play in just a few rehab games before he's cleared to rejoin the Yankees lineup. When he's back, don't be surprised if he sees more time as the designated hitter in order to be eased back into action. Stanton is only hitting .228 in 289 at-bats in 2022, but he also has 24 round-trippers, 61 RBI and 40 runs scored, making him a must-start when he's on the field. |

New York has a comfortable lead in the AL East standings and might not rush Stanton back into action. Fantasy managers should continue to stash Stanton in all league formats in the meantime. |

Tue Aug 9 2022 | 11:21 | Giancarlo Stanton Resumes Baseball Activities |
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles), who is on the injured list with Achilles tendinitis, has resumed baseball activities, but skipper Aaron Boone said there is no timetable for his return to the team. Stanton has been on the shelf since July 23, so he'll almost certainly require a minor league rehab assignment before the Yankees reinstate him from the injured list. The 32-year-old right-handed slugger needs to remain stashed in all fantasy leagues in the meantime. Before the injury, he was slashing .228/.309/.498 with an .807 OPS, 24 home runs, 61 RBI and 40 runs scored in 328 plate appearances over 80 games played for the Bronx Bombers. |

The 32-year-old slugger is dealing with left Achilles tendinitis, but he needs to remain stashed in all fantasy formats while he heals up. He's hitting just .228 on the season with a .309 on-base percentage, but he also has an .807 OPS, 24 home runs, 61 RBI and 40 runs scored in 289 at-bats for the Yanks. |

He has 11 home runs but is also hitting just .164 with 98 strikeouts in 257 plate appearances. |

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.

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. |

Tue May 31 2022 | 22:52 | Giancarlo Stanton Could Return This Week |
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. |

Thu May 26 2022 | 09:04 | Giancarlo Stanton Dealing With Ankle Inflammation |
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. |

Wed May 25 2022 | 09:08 | Giancarlo Stanton To Undergo An MRI On Wednesday |
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. |
