  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Goes yard in four-hit attack

    Stanton went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 9-1 win over the Twins.

    The four hits established a season high for the 35-year-old veteran slugger, who matched a season high in RBI while launching his 12th homer of the year. Stanton has now played right field in four games, and his move back to the outfield should bode well for his chances of seeing more playing time down the stretch. He's slashing a potent .320/.391/.699 with each of his 12 long balls, three doubles and 31 RBI over 115 plate appearances since the start of July.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Slugs 11th homer

    Stanton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

    The New York veteran started in right field for the second time this season and launched a 399-foot solo shot off Minnesota starter Zebby Matthews in the third. Stanton has been a reliable bat since returning from elbow injuries June 16, slashing .281/.362/.548 with 31 RBI and 19 runs scored in 152 plate appearances across 41 games; however, he is mired in a part-time role because Aaron Judge (elbow) occupies the designated hitter spot while nursing back to full health.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Back on bench after outfield start

    Stanton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    He was on the bench for three straight games following Aaron Judge's return from the injured list Tuesday, but Stanton rejoined the starting nine in right field Saturday. His seven-inning appearance was his first defensive action since the 2023 season, and right field looks as though it will be his primary path to playing time in the short term while Judge's elbow temporarily limits him to DH duties. According to Max Goodman of NJ.com, manager Aaron Boone said he "flirted" with the idea of handing Stanton a second straight start in the outfield Sunday, but the Yankees will take a more cautious approach with the historically injury-prone slugger.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Could play outfield Saturday

    Manager Aaron Boone said Friday that there's a "good chance" Stanton starts in the outfield Saturday against Houston, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

    Stanton has exclusively played DH this season after dealing with tennis elbow in both of his arms throughout the spring and portions of the summer. It appears as though he's feeling well enough to start playing defense, which should open up more opportunities for Stanton to make the lineup while Aaron Judge is limited to DH. Stanton has been out of the starting nine in three consecutive games, including Friday's series opener against the Astros.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Out again with Judge back

    Stanton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    With a .970 OPS since the All-Star break, Stanton has been one of the Yankees' hottest hitters over the past two and a half weeks, but he looks like he'll have to settle for more of a part-time role for the foreseeable future. Aaron Judge returned from the injured list Tuesday but will be likely be limited to playing designated hitter for at least the next few weeks while his right flexor strain affects his throwing, and the Yankees won't be looking to bench the two-time AL MVP in favor of Stanton. Instead, the Yankees plan on eventually giving Stanton some exposure to the corner outfield, but the 35-year-old is still waiting to make his 2025 debut on defense. Given his durability concerns, Stanton likely won't be asked to play right or left field on an everyday basis once the Yankees are comfortable deploying him on defense, and the lack of consistent starting opportunities could be enough to make him a drop in many fantasy leagues even while he continues to hit well.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Continues power surge

    Stanton went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in Monday's extra-inning loss to Texas.

    Stanton's long ball was a 427-foot laser to center field in the fourth inning. The slugger has done his best to prop up New York's offense in the absence of Aaron Judge (elbow) -- since Judge last played July 25, Stanton has four homers and 10 RBI in nine games. He's also struck out 16 times during that span, but as long as he continues to mash, he should be an everyday presence in both the Yankees' and fantasy managers' lineups.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Blasts three-run homer in loss

    Stanton went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 13-12 loss to the Marlins.

    Stanton kicked off the scoring for the night in the series opener, with his 409-foot blast off right-hander Janson Junk in the fourth inning staking New York to an early lead. The 35-year-old has now left the yard in consecutive games and has five home runs in his last nine games, bringing his OPS to .862 for the season. Stanton has shown the ability to go on these type of power binges in the past, and if he can continue to offset his bloated 32.8 percent strikeout rate with further mashing, the Yankees will likely continue to keep his bat in the lineup by using him in the corner outfield when Aaron Judge (elbow) returns from the injured list, perhaps as soon as next week. Since Judge will be limited to designated-hitter duties upon his return until he completes his throwing program, Stanton has begun to take pregame reps in the outfield, though he has yet to make his 2025 debut on defense.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Could get look in outfield

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Stanton will begin taking defensive reps and could become an option in the corner outfield once Aaron Judge (elbow) returns from the 10-day injured list, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    The Yankees are hopeful that Judge will be ready to return from the IL on Aug. 5, but because the two-time AL MVP won't be able to resume throwing for another 10-to-14 days, he'll initially be limited to designated-hitter duties once he's activated. Judge's eventual return will displace Stanton from the DH spot, but the Yankees will attempt to keep Stanton's bat in the lineup by using him in the outfield. Stanton hasn't made a start in the outfield since 2023 and has spent the majority of his tenure with the Yankees as a DH while he's contended with a slew of lower-body injuries in past years and a bout with tennis elbow in both arms earlier this season, but Boone doesn't believe that playing the field will compromise the 35-year-old's health. Even so, the Yankees may not be keen on having Stanton play the outfield on a full-time basis, so expect him to receive at least a couple days off per week when Judge is back in the fold at DH.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Belts seventh homer

    Stanton went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Phillies.

    The game was already out of reach for the Yankees when Stanton took Daniel Robert deep in the seventh inning. The 35-year-old slugger has gone yard in three of his last four games, giving him seven homers and 20 RBI through 28 contests since recovering from elbow issues and making his 2025 debut in mid-June. Per Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com, manager Aaron Boone indicated after Saturday's contest that Stanton may see time in the outfield in August, as Aaron Judge (elbow) will need to DH when he returns from the IL. Until Judge gets healthy, however, Stanton is likely to remain New York's primary designated hitter.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Getting breather Wednesday

    Stanton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Stanton will get some rest for the series finale after he started in each of the Yankees' last four games while going 5-for-15 with a solo home run, three walks and four runs. With Stanton on the bench, Aaron Judge will get a day off from playing the outfield and will occupy the designated-hitter spot.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Raps three singles Sunday

    Stanton went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 victory against Atlanta.

    Though none of his knocks went for extra bases, Stanton posted his first three-hit performance of the campaign. The veteran slugger has at least one hit in eight of his past nine games, batting .393 (11-for-28) with three homers, two doubles and nine RBI during that span. While he seems to be heating up, Stanton hasn't been an everyday part of the lineup of late -- he's started just four of New York's past seven contests.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Idle Friday

    Stanton is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Stanton will get an additional day of rest following the All-Star break. In his place, Ben Rice will DH and bat sixth. Stanton is slashing .246/.333/.449 in 78 plate appearances this season.
