Giancarlo Stanton Fantasy Stats

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (right calf) is currently on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain, but he's getting ready to return to the active roster within the next week or two. Stanton is a talented power hitter when healthy, and he's worth stashing in fantasy baseball leagues ahead of his impending return. Prior to the injury this year, Stanton was slashing .256/.302/.422 with three home runs, 14 RBI, a 6.3% walk rate, a 30.2% strikeout rate, and 105 wRC+. The power output was down a little, but that could just be attributed to a small sample size. Since landing on the IL, Stanton's roster share across fantasy baseball has fallen to just 27%. He's available in 73% of leagues, making him an intriguing stash in hopes that he can offer a boost to your lineup from June through September.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) has continued hitting and is doing plyometric exercises. He will undergo imaging this week with hopes of being cleared to run, according to MLB.com. Stanton has been recovering slowly after being placed on the 10-day injured list on April 28 (retroactive to April 25) with a right-calf strain. It's unclear when he exactly he'll be ready to rejoin the Yankees' big-league roster, and it will depend on how quickly he can resume running at full speed. Because of how much time he's missed, the right-handed slugger will almost certainly need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before he's reinstated. Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) is also on the IL, and the Yankees are down to three true outfielders (Aaron Judge, Trent Grisham, and Cody Bellinger) after sending rookie Spencer Jones back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 36-year-old Stanton still has enough power to make a difference in fantasy, but managers have grown tired of dealing with his constant injuries. Stanton is currently rostered in 30% of Yahoo leagues with a TBD return date.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is "doing some more dynamic stuff, but he's still not ready to ramp up his running program, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Stanton won't be able to go on a minor-league rehab assignment or return from the 10-day injured list until he's cleared to run full speed. The 36-year-old veteran right-handed slugger has been out since being put on the IL on May 11 with a calf strain. Shockingly, the oft-injured outfielder is healing slowly, and fantasy managers in mixed leagues are quickly losing patience. The former MVP, five-time All-Star, and two-time Silver Slugger winner was hitting .256 (23-for-90) with only three home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs scored, and a stolen base in 24 games for the Yankees at the time of his injury. With both Stanton and Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) sidelined, rookie left-handed-hitting outfielder Spencer Jone is getting run in the Bronx in the outfield against righties. Stanton is now only rostered in 32% of Yahoo leagues as he slowly recovers.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton's (calf) latest MRI exam has not allowed the team to clear him to start ramping up his running program, according to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Stanton is on the 10-day injured list with a calf strain and doesn't appear close to rejoining the major-league squad, which isn't exactly a surprise given his reputation as a slow healer. Once the 36-year-old power hitter is cleared to resume running, he might not be far off from starting a minor-league rehab assignment. With Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) also on the IL and not close to a return, rookie outfielder Spencer Jones will continue to get run in the Yankees' lineup against right-handed pitching. Jones, 24, offers elite power upside, but he entered Wednesday with just one hit in his first 11 MLB at-bats with one walk and six strikeouts. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues are beginning to run out of patience with the oft-injured Stanton, as he's now rostered in only 34% of Yahoo leagues.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) was getting tests done on Monday to check on his healing process. Depending on the results of the tests, Stanton could ramp up his running program this week, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Boone added that the power-hitting DH has done some indoor running work already as he rehabs from a right-calf strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list. Once the 36-year-old veteran advances in his running program, he could be cleared to go on a minor-league rehab assignment. Until then, though, we won't have a clearer picture of when he might rejoin the major-league roster. With both Stanton and Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) on the IL, the Yankees finally called up left-handed power/speed prospect Spencer Jones. Stanton can still be an asset in fantasy baseball leagues for his power from the right side, but a lot of managers have run out of patience in having to deal with his durability issues. Stanton is currently rostered in only 34% of Yahoo leagues. He's hitting .256 (23-for-90) on the season with three homers, 14 RBI, eight runs, and a stolen base in 24 games.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) has yet to run after going on the 10-day injured list with a low-grade right-calf strain, manager Aaron Boone told Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. The hope is that Stanton resumes hitting this weekend. The last box that Stanton will probably have to check before being cleared to return to the Yankees or go on a minor-league rehab assignment will be to run at full speed. Until that happens, it's hard to say when the right-handed power hitter will return from the IL. Given his lengthy injury history, fantasy managers should expect the Yankees to be cautious. Former top prospect Jasson Dominguez (elbow) was called up from the minors with Stanton hurt, but he suffered an elbow contusion earlier this week and has missed the last two games. Stanton is only rostered in 38% of Yahoo leagues after his injury, but he'll be the team's full-time DH when he returns, and he can still provide useful power numbers in a strong Yankees lineup.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) has been diagnosed with a low-grade calf strain and will land on the 10-day injured list, according to Erik Boland of Newsday. It's an injury that Stanton suffered last Friday night in the team's series opener against the Houston Astros, and he has not played since. The good news is that Stanton's calf injury is more of a minor injury, so he could have a chance at returning from the IL when he's eligible. In the meantime, outfielder Jasson Dominguez should see regular at-bats as the team's DH, at least against right-handed pitching. Randal Grichuk and Amed Rosario are also candidates to see some plate appearances in the short term against lefties at DH. The 36-year-old Stanton is still a solid source of power for fantasy managers, but IL stints are part of the package. Hopefully, his stay on the IL will be short. In his first 90 at-bats of 2026 before his calf injury, Stanton has hit .256 with three long balls, 14 RBI, eight runs scored, and a stolen base. Stanton should be stashed in an IL spot everywhere that he's rostered.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) continues to sit out of the starting nine for Monday's series opener against the hosting Texas Rangers and right-hander Jack Leiter at Globe Life Field, according to MLB.com. Jasson Dominguez, who was just called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, will start at DH and will bat sixth against Leiter. Despite Dominguez's return and Stanton's injury, which he suffered on Friday against the Houston Astros, the Yankees will hold off on putting Stanton on the 10-day injured list for now. The New York Post's Greg Joyce reports that it looks as though the Yankees will play a pitcher short during their series in Texas and give Stanton a chance to return sooner than if they had put him on the IL. The 36-year-old Stanton is missing his third game in a row due to right-calf soreness. It's still unclear if Stanton will eventually require an IL stint, but fantasy managers looking for outfield help should consider acquiring Dominguez off the waiver wire after his hot start offensively in the minors. Dominguez could become a lineup regular if Stanton misses more time. UPDATE: Stanton went for an MRI exam on his calf on Monday.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that the team expects to make a decision on outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) before the series opener on Monday versus the Texas Rangers, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Stanton was pulled from Friday's series opener against the Houston Astros due to right-calf soreness, and he didn't play in the final two games of the series on Saturday or Sunday. The Yankees will decide on Monday whether Stanton will need a trip to the 10-day injured list, although that could be even more likely to happen now that outfielder Jasson Dominguez has been called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after a strong start to the season on the farm. The 36-year-old Stanton still has high-end power from the right side of the plate when he's healthy, but staying healthy continues to be an issue for the former MVP and five-time All-Star. Stanton should be stashed in fantasy leagues if he goes on the IL. In his first 90 at-bats, he's hitting .256 (23-for-90) with three home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs scored, and one stolen base.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) is out of the starting lineup for a second straight game on Sunday in the series finale against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park, according to MLB.com. Ben Rice will serve as the DH and bat second, while Paul Goldschmidt will play first base and hit sixth against Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti. Stanton will miss a second straight game after he was pulled from Friday's contest early in Houston with right-calf tightness. For now, the right-handed slugger is considered day-to-day, but with manager Aaron Boone saying on Saturday that Stanton's injury is "not ideal," we wouldn't be surprised if the oft-injured DH goes on the 10-day injured list at some point. If Stanton lands on the IL, Goldschmidt would benefit from more playing time in the Yankees' lineup. The 36-year-old Stanton remains a great source of power when he's healthy, and he came into Sunday's game with three homers and 14 RBI while slashing .256/.302/.422 in 90 at-bats. Fantasy managers will want to check back to see if Stanton is cleared to play in Monday's series opener against the Texas Rangers.
