Giancarlo Stanton News
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton sparked the team's offense in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Houston Astros. He hit a three-run home run in the first inning of the game to put the team on the board. The home run wound up being his only hit of the day as he went 1-for-3 with a walk, three RBI and two runs. The 32-year-old slugger is slashing .246/.336/.493 with 15 home runs, 45 RBI and 25 runs over 57 games this year. June has been his worst offensive month yet, as he's slashed just .135/.328/.404 across the month, but hopefully Thursday's homer can help get him back on track.
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against right-hander Dylan Bundy and the Minnesota Twins. Joey Gallo will be covering right field while Anthony Rizzo will be filling in as designated hitter. Stanton is currently slashing .274/.333/.518 with 12 home runs, 36 RBI and 16 runs over 44 games this year. Expect to see him back in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Chicago Cubs.
New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is taking the day off on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers. Stanton was activated from the injured list on Saturday and went 1-for-4 with a double, but he'll get a day off in the series finale against Detroit. The 32-year-old has been a must-start this year when on the field, as he's hitting .284/.337/.523 with an .860 OPS, 11 home runs, 35 RBI and 15 runs scored in 172 plate appearances over 41 games. Josh Donaldson will serve as the DH and bat cleanup, while DJ LeMahieu gets the start at third base and is hitting leadoff on Sunday against Tigers right-hander Rony Garcia. LeMahieu has been hot at the plate recently and makes for a solid DFS target out of the leadoff spot for the Yanks.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton bounced back strong in 2021 after two injury-riddled seasons in the Bronx. Many fans and fantasy managers were skeptical that he could get back to his 2017 NL MVP form but he nearly did so, finishing fourth in AL MVP voting last year. He produced 35 homers and 97 RBI, second on the team behind only Aaron Judge, with a .273 batting average. His 64 runs scored might be disappointing and one can't help but think his R+RBI totals could have been higher if the Yanks' deadline acquisitions on offense had panned out better in the second half. As it stands, Stanton is back to his typical slugging excellence and still ranks among the very best in hard-hit rate and exit velocity. The only question with him on draft day is the ability to sustain good health, which doesn't currently seem to be an issue. He can't be completely trusted to put in full season which is why his ADP hovers just inside the top-100. Fantasy managers could get a first-round value at great discount, a massive headache rife with IL stints, or something in between, making Stanton a huge risk/reward pick.
