Giancarlo Stanton NEWS
Giancarlo Stanton, Josh Donaldson Return Saturday
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (foot) and third baseman Josh Donaldson are back in the starting lineup on Saturday against Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Corey Kluber. Stanton is serving as the designated hitter and is batting second after missing the last four games after he fouled a ball off his foot on Monday. Fantasy managers will want to get the power-hitting right-hander back into their lineups immediately. Donaldson was reinstated from the paternity list and will return to the lineup after missing the last three games following the birth of his child. He's starting at third base and hitting cleanup for the struggling Bombers. Hopefully for the Yankees, the return of both Stanton and Donaldson can get them going offensively.
Sep 10, 2022 • 2:59 PM | RotoBallerGiancarlo Stanton Remains Out Against Rays
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (foot) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Stanton fouled a ball off his foot on Monday and hasn't played since. The good news, however, is that he came off the bench as a pinch-hitter on Thursday, so there's a strong chance he'll return to the starting lineup at some point this weekend. With the 32-year-old slugger out again Friday, Miguel Andujar will serve as the designated hitter again and bat fifth against Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen. Andujar hasn't played much for the Yankees this year, and he's hit .240 (6-for-25) with a homer, three RBI and one run scored in seven games played since Aug. 9.
Sep 9, 2022 • 8:04 PM | RotoBallerYankees Unsure Giancarlo Stanton Returns To Friday's Lineup
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.
Sep 9, 2022 • 3:19 PM | RotoBallerGiancarlo Stanton Pinch Hits Thursday
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.
Sep 9, 2022 • 3:58 AM | RotoBallerGiancarlo Stanton Still Out Thursday
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.
Sep 8, 2022 • 10:00 PM | RotoBallerGiancarlo Stanton Not In Wednesday's Game 1 Lineup
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.
Sep 7, 2022 • 6:18 PM | RotoBallerX-Rays Negative On Giancarlo Stanton
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.
Sep 5, 2022 • 9:11 PM | RotoBallerGiancarlo Stanton Officially Activated From Injured List
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.
Aug 25, 2022 • 10:58 PM | RotoBallerYankees To Activate Giancarlo Stanton Thursday
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.
Aug 24, 2022 • 11:29 PM | RotoBallerGiancarlo Stanton Hoping To Return Thursday
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.
Aug 22, 2022 • 10:01 PM | RotoBallerGiancarlo 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.
Aug 21, 2022 • 3:11 PM | RotoBallerGiancarlo 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.
Aug 20, 2022 • 6:01 PM | RotoBallerGiancarlo Stanton Likely To Begin Rehab Stint This Weekend
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.
