New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is unsure outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (foot) will be in the lineup for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. "We'll see. I'm not sure yet.," said Boone. Stanton appeared as a pinch hitter in Thursday's loss to the Twins. He went 0-for-1 with a strikeout. The 32-year-old has been out of the lineup for the last three games with a foot injury. He is slashing .213/.296/.451 with 24 homers, 64 RBI, and 40 runs across 371 plate appearances in 2022. Fantasy managers should be back on Friday to ensure Stanton is in the lineup Friday before inserting him into their starting lineups.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (foot) pinch hit during Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Twins in his first game action since he fouled a ball of his foot on Monday. The slugger came in with a runner on third in the eighth, but ultimately struck out after a lengthy nine-pitch at-bat. When manager Aaron Boone was asked postgame about Stanton's availability for Friday's game he replied with an unsatisfying "we'll see." It wouldn't be a surprise to see him get another breather tomorrow night, but he should start at some point this weekend with the second-place Rays in town.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (foot) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins. Stanton will miss his third straight game after missing the entire doubleheader on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should consider the 32-year-old slugger to be day-to-day for now. With Stanton out again on Thursday, Miguel Andujar will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth against Twins right-hander Sonny Gray. Andujar is actually still searching for his first home run of the season. The 27-year-old Dominican only has 71 at-bats for the Yankees in 2022 and is hitting .225/.243/.254 with five RBI, seven runs scored and four stolen bases. He'll be a low-upside DFS target Thursday.

New York Yankees designated hitter and outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (foot) isn't in the team's lineup for the first game of a doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. Stanton is batting .214 with a .297 on-base percentage and 24 home runs in 371 plate appearances. Aaron Judge is starting at designated hitter instead and batting second with Estevan Florial entering the lineup as the team's center fielder. The 24-year-old is batting seventh against the Twins and right-handed starter Louie Varland. In 22 plate appearances with the Yankees this season, Florial has collected a hit, a walk and a stolen base. Fantasy managers in search of streaming help are probably better off looking elsewhere.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (ankle, foot) fouled a ball off the top of his ankle/foot and was removed from the game early on Monday against the Minnesota Twins, but skipper Aaron Boone said that X-rays came back negative. Stanton initially stayed in the game before exiting in the eighth inning. He went 0-for-3 in the contest while serving as the designated hitter before departing. Fantasy managers should consider the 32-year-old slugger to be day-to-day for now, but don't be surprised if he's not in the starting lineup on Tuesday. Entering Monday's game, Stanton was slashing .216/.300/.457 with 24 home runs, 64 RBI and 40 runs scored in 324 at-bats this season.

The New York Yankees officially activated outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and placed left-hander Nestor Cortes (groin) on the 15-day injured list with a left groin strain in a corresponding move. The Yankees also moved outfielder Harrison Bader (foot) to the 60-day IL and signed right-hander Greg Weissert to a major league contract and selected him from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Stanton went hitless in two minor league rehab games for Double-A Somerset, but he's fully healthy and ready to rejoin New York's lineup, likely as the designated hitter at first. Although the 32-year-old slugger hasn't hit for average in 2022, he remains an elite source of power in a strong Yankees lineup.

New York Yankees skipper Aaron Boone said that the plan is to activate outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) from the 10-day injured list on Thursday. Stanton should be back in the starting lineup immediately against the Oakland Athletics, but the team could ease him back in the designated hitter spot. The 32-year-old power hitter went 0-for-7 with three strikeouts in a couple minor league rehab games for Double-A Somerset last weekend, but the key takeaway is that he appears to be fully healthy. Stanton hasn't helped in the batting-average department (.228), but he's slugged 24 long balls, driven in 61 and scored 40 runs in 289 at-bats and will be a must-start player down the stretch.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) said he's still a little sore, but he's played pain-free on a minor league rehab assignment the last couple of days and is hoping to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday in order to play against the Oakland Athletics for the start of a four-game series. The 32-year-old slugger hasn't played for the Yankees since July 26 due to left Achilles tendinitis, but he began his rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Saturday. The Yanks could ease Stanton back into the lineup once he returns, but fantasy managers won't mind as long as his powerful bat is back in there. Estevan Florial, who has just one hit in 20 at-bats in seven games, could be in danger of being sent back to the minors when Stanton returns.

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.

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.

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.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone provided an update on star outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) on Wednesday. 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.

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 Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) is targeting going through a full pregame routine by Monday and will hopefully begin a rehab assignment next week. He has been sidelined since July 23 with Achilles tendinitis. The 32-year-old slashed .228/.309/.498 with a .807 OPS, 24 home runs, 61 RBI, and 40 runs scored in 328 plate appearances over 80 games before landing on the injured list. 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.

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.

New York Yankees skipper Aaron Boone said that outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) should be cleared to start baseball activities "early this week." Stanton was placed on the injured list on July 26, but it doesn't look like he'll be ready to return to the team when he's eligible on Wednesday, Aug. 3. 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.

The New York Yankees placed outfielder and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (Achilles) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday due to left Achilles tendonitis. The move was made retroactive to Sunday, July 24. Stanton is hitting .229 with a .309 on-base percentage in 328 plate appearances for the Yankees this season. He's also connected on 24 home runs in those 328 plate appearances. New York recalled outfielder Tim Locastro from Triple-A to take Stanton's place on the active roster.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the doubleheader against the Houston Astros on Thursday to kick off the second half of the 2022 season. Stanton will get a little extra rest after winning MVP honors in the American League's 3-2 win over the National League in Tuesday's All-Star game in Los Angeles. The 32-year-old veteran slugger made his fifth All-Star squad this year by hitting .237/.319/.516 with an .835 OPS, 24 home runs, 61 RBI and 40 runs scored in 76 games in the first half. Joey Gallo is starting in right field and batting ninth against Astros right-hander Cristian Javier in Game 1. Gallo is a boom-or-bust DFS play that has been mostly bust in 2022. He has 11 home runs but is also hitting just .164 with 98 strikeouts in 257 plate appearances.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton took home the All-Star Game Most Valuable Player award in Tuesday's 3-2 American League win. Stanton went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a strikeout. He got the AL team on the board in the fourth inning, tying the score up after demolishing a Tony Gonsolin slider into the deep left-center seats. The 32-year-old has only compiled a .237 batting average to this point, but he also has an impressive .516 slugging percentage with 24 HR and 61 RBI. Stanton will remain a second-half fantasy asset as long his average doesn't drop too far.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton hit a three-run home run Friday, but it wasn't enough to secure the victory, as the Boston Red Sox won the game 5-4 in 11 innings. Stanton was 2-for-5 in the contest. He now has 24 home runs on the season to go with an .828 OPS, 37 runs scored, and 61 RBI. Stanton's been having his slowest month of the season in July, slashing .176/.222/.471 in 54 plate appearances, but even in his worst moments Stanton is still always a threat to go deep, and he's launched five home runs in that same span. He's among the best power options fantasy managers can find.
