Giancarlo Stanton Fantasy Stats

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) is set to see his first action of Spring Training on Tuesday when the Yankees face off against Panama. He will bat fourth as the designated hitter as he begins his ramp-up to Opening Day. Stanton is still dealing with tennis elbow issues in both arms, but his goal is to be ready for a full season despite the issue. Last season, Stanton didn't play his first game until June 16 due to the problem, but he was effective once he debuted, hitting 24 homers in 77 games with a .273 batting average, .321 ISO, and .395 wOBA. If he plays a full season while managing his injury, he brings good power potential, although his health will definitely be something to monitor leading up to the start of the season.

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) is working through significant injuries to both his elbows as he prepares for spring training. He said that even a full offseason of rest has not helped his tennis elbow issues that have plagued both arms since 2024. He said, "I can't open a bottle. I can't open a bag of chips ... a bag of anything. That's the way it is." He is planning to play through the issue, though, and his goal remains to play the full season. The Yankees have taken it slow with Stanton in spring training, but they are hoping that he is ready to go for Opening Day, even though he has not yet made his Grapefruit League debut. Last season, he didn't play his first game until June 16, but he hit 24 homers in 77 games with a .273 batting average, .321 ISO, and .395 wOBA. Even while dealing with the issues, he offers good power potential as long as he stays in the lineup.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone expects designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton and his elbows to be "good to go" when he arrives at spring training, according to the New York Daily News' Gary Phillips. Boone typically slow-plays getting the oft-injured Stanton into games in camp, which should especially be the case this spring after the 36-year-old veteran had his 2025 season debut delayed until mid-June due to serious tennis elbow in both of his arms. Reports surfaced last week that Stanton's elbows will need to be managed again this year, but as of right now, everything looks good. He only played in 77 regular-season games last year, but he had a strong .273/.350/.594 slash line, .944 OPS, 24 home runs, and 66 RBI. Injuries seem inevitable with the right-handed slugger, as are plenty of strikeouts, but the power remains.

The New York Yankees will manage designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton's (elbow) playing time this year after he missed a significant portion of the 2025 season with severe tennis elbow in both of his arms, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. It's an issue that has not healed, and it could lead to more rest days for the 36-year-old veteran right-handed slugger. The five-time All-Star and former MVP played in only 77 games last year, but he slashed a strong .273/.350/.594 with a .944 OPS, 24 home runs, 66 RBI, and 36 runs scored for the Yankees in 281 regular-season plate appearances when he was on the field. Fantasy managers will take on a lot of injury risk as well as contact issues when drafting Stanton, but his demise may have been a bit premature, and he also added outfield eligibility in some leagues going into 2026.

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton slugged the team to an 8-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. Stanton crushed a pair of two-run homers, both off ace left-hander Trevor Rogers, and racked up five RBI during a 2-for-5 night. His third-inning bomb to left-center field came off the bat at 112.2 mph and traveled 451 feet. Remarkably, entering Friday, Rogers had only given up three HRs in his prior 17 starts this season. Stanton nearly equaled that total in one night, and with 452 homers, he's now tied with Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski for 40th on the all-time list. During a renaissance season, the 35-year-old has slashed .267/.342/.584 with 23 long balls, 64 RBI, and 35 runs scored in 74 games and 273 trips to the plate.

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton became the 41st player in major league history to reach the 450-home run mark on Saturday and helped his team to a 6-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Stanton hit a three-run, opposite-field shot off right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano in the first inning to give the Yankees a lead they wouldn't relinquish. The 35-year-old passed Hall of Famers Vladimir Guerrero and Jeff Bagwell on the all-time HR list in the process. After going 1-for-3 with a walk on Saturday, Stanton is slashing a robust .268/.341/.575 with 21 homers, 56 RBI, and 33 runs scored over 70 games and 256 plate appearances this season. While Stanton has tallied four dingers and 10 RBI in September, he has gone just 10-for-55 (.182) with 28 strikeouts and four walks this month.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. This appears to be a routine rest day for Stanton who has started in each of the last three games. During that span, Stanton went 3-for-12 with two RBI and a run scored. Aaron Judge will slide over to the designated hitter role and bat third versus right-hander Taj Bradley on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly ahead of first pitch.

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton isn't in the lineup against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Aaron Judge will DH and hit third versus right-hander Brayan Bello, Cody Bellinger will play right field and bat cleanup, and Jasson Dominguez will man left and occupy the No. 6 spot in the order. Stanton will take a seat amid an early September slump. The 35-year-old has gone just 5-for-33 (.152) in nine games this month, though he has clubbed three home runs. Stanton has 20 homers in 231 plate appearances this season, and he owns a strong .272/.348/.592 line with 49 RBI and 31 runs scored.

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton will take a seat on Saturday against Chicago White Sox right-hander Shane Smith. The Yankees will go with Cody Bellinger (right field) and Jasson Dominguez (left) as their corner outfielders, while Aaron Judge will DH. Stanton is sitting after starting back-to-back games in right field. The Yankees will have to continue choosing when to play the 35-year-old and when to rest him until Judge can reclaim his spot in the outfield. Judge has been a full-time DH since he suffered a flexor strain in his right elbow in late July, and while he has made progress, there's still no timetable for him to return to right in a game. Unless Judge regains full health this year, the Yankees will occasionally have to bench Stanton, who has been on a tear in 2025. The former NL MVP has slashed .300/.374/.635 with 17 homers, 46 RBI, and 28 runs scored in 191 plate appearances.

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is starting in right field and batting fourth on Saturday against the Boston Red Sox. Stanton did not start his team's game on Friday night, but came in as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and struck out. The 35-year-old is having an excellent season, slashing .301/.382/.621 with 15 home runs and 40 RBI in 173 plate appearances. However, with Aaron Judge limited to designated hitter duties while he plays through a flexor strain, Stanton does not have an everyday spot in the Yankees' starting lineup.
