Giancarlo Stanton Fantasy Stats

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) "re-injured" his calf strain and will have a light week of activity, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Stanton has been on the injured list with a calf strain since late April and suffered a setback while running the bases last week. Stanton's exact return timeline is uncertain, but he does not appear to be close to beginning a rehab assignment. Stanton was a highly productive slugger when healthy in 2025, hitting .273/.350/.594 with 24 home runs, 66 RBI, and 36 runs scored across 281 plate appearances. However, injuries are a recurring issue for the 36-year-old, who has logged just one season with more than 460 plate appearances since 2018. In Stanton's absence, Yankees first baseman/designated hitter Paul Goldschmidt has stepped into the everyday lineup.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) suffered a setback earlier this week while running the bases. Manager Aaron Boone said that the 36-year-old felt a tweak earlier in the week and that additional imaging may be needed to determine the extent of the injury. There had been some hope that Stanton would return to the lineup at some point during the Yankees' upcoming homestand, but that optimism is now in jeopardy. Given his extensive injury history, the team would be wise to continue taking a cautious approach with his recovery. As such, there is no timetable for his return until more is known about the severity of the setback.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) will take live batting practice again on Saturday and then continue to ramp up his running program, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. However, Stanton will not be activated from the 10-day injured list during the team's next road trip, according to manager Aaron Boone. The Yankees kick off their next road trip on Monday, June 8, in Cleveland, and it runs until Sunday, June 14, in Toronto. The right-handed power hitter continues to progress slowly from a strained calf and hasn't played for the Yankees since April 24. There's still plenty of power in Stanton's lumber, but durability issues continue to make him hard to keep rostered in shallow mixed leagues. Stanton is now rostered in less than 30% of Yahoo leagues. With Aaron Judge (ribs) potentially joining Stanton on the IL, the Yankees could be dangerously thin in the outfield going forward.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) will face live pitching on Wednesday, manager Aaron Boone told Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Stanton, who has been slow to recover from a strained right calf, is making good progress of late and was also cleared to run last weekend. Still, a minor-league rehab assignment could be on tap next because of all the time he's missed. The 36-year-old former MVP and five-time All-Star has been sidelined since late April, and fantasy managers have grown tired of rostering him because of his persistent durability issues. When healthy, though, Stanton can still provide decent power production in a strong Yankees lineup. Before his calf strain, Stanton was hitting .256/.302/.422 with a .724 OPS, three long balls, 14 RBI, eight runs scored, and a stolen base in his 90 at-bats. A return around mid-June is possible, barring a setback.

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.
