New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) is expected to be activated from the injured list on Monday. The 34-year-old has been out since late June due to a left hamstring strain. Before that, Stanton was slashing .246/.302/.492 with 18 home runs and 45 RBI in 69 games this season. The Yankees don't believe Stanton will require a rehab stint and can get back in the lineup early next week. He'll face live pitching over the weekend, so fantasy managers should get a better idea after that. For now, fantasy managers should expect Stanton to return on Monday.
There are still no decisions on when New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) will be able to come off the 10-day injured list, but he was doing more work on the field at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday before the finale to the Subway Series against the visiting New York Mets. "I think he's feeling towards the end of it," manager Aaron Boone said. The skipper didn't rule Stanton out for the series at Fenway Park this weekend against the division-rival Boston Red Sox but also said he's not necessarily expecting that. It doesn't sound like the Yankees expect the 34-year-old right-handed slugger to rejoin them this weekend, but barring a setback, Stanton should be back in the Yankees' lineup sometime next week. When he does return, Aaron Judge will move back to center field, in turn pushing Trent Grisham back to a bench role.
Decision Coming On Giancarlo Stanton By End Of Next Week
New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) said a decision most likely will be made by the end of next week on when he can return to the field. Manager Aaron Boone thinks it's a matter of building stamina daily. It's still unclear if Stanton will go on a minor-league rehab assignment or join the Yankees immediately after he's activated from the 10-day injured list. Last year, Stanton played in just one rehab game before returning to the majors. He resumed treadmill activities on June 27 and "did quite a bit of running" on July 9. Stanton strained his left hamstring while running the bases on June 22 and was told to expect a four-week stint on the IL. He received a platelet-rich plasma injection on June 23. It's the 34-year-old slugger's eighth trip to the IL in the last six years, but he remains a must-stash in all fantasy formats for his high-end power stroke.
New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) was seen running the bases on Friday before the series opener against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays in the Bronx. Stanton wasn't running full speed around the bases, but it's a notable step in his recovery from a strained left hamstring that he suffered almost a month ago. There is no timetable for the 34-year-old right-handed slugger's return, and he's likely to need at least a short rehab assignment in the minor leagues before rejoining the Yankees' lineup. When Stanton is able to return (likely not until August), Aaron Judge will move back to regular duties in center field, pushing Trent Grisham back to the bench as the fourth outfielder. Stanton should remain stashed in all fantasy leagues as a top-tier power option. He currently has 18 long balls and 45 RBI in 260 at-bats in 2024 while hitting .246 (64-for-260).
New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list shortly after next week's All-Star break and may return without going on a minor-league rehab assignment, according to manager Aaron Boone. Apparently Stanton has been recovering nicely from a left-hamstring strain that landed him on the IL and he's been doing baseball activities. Even if the 34-year-old right-handed slugger skips a rehab assignment, he's probably going to need to at least face some sort of live pitching before the Yankees throw him back into their big-league lineup. Since he's been out, Aaron Judge has been serving as the team's DH, which has given Trent Grisham more playing time in center field. Stanton continues to display high-end power when healthy, slugging 18 homers and driving in 45 in 69 games played in 2024. Keep him stashed everywhere.
Giancarlo Stanton To Ramp Up Activity After All-Star Break
New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) should be "getting to the point where he's getting ready to play" after the All-Star break, manager Aaron Boone said before Tuesday's series opener against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays. Stanton resumed treadmill activities on June 27, but he has yet to begin on-field activities. It sounds like the 34-year-old veteran slugger is preparing to ramp up his baseball activities when play resumes late next week following the Midsummer Classic, and he could go on a minor-league rehab assignment later this month. Stanton is recovering from a strained left hamstring, but he should still have a chance to return to the Yankees before the end of July.
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said before Tuesday's series opener against the visiting Cincinnati Reds that designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) hit, threw, and did some light running prior to the game. After resuming treadmill activities on Friday amid his recovery from a strained left hamstring, Stanton is keeping himself on pace to return to the Yankees sometime after the mid-July All-Star break before the end of the month. In his last 69 at-bats before going on the injured list, the 34-year-old veteran slugger was slashing a hearty .304/.377/.551 with five home runs and 16 RBI in the month of June. Stanton is worth stashing in all fantasy leagues for his placement in the heart of the batting order of New York's potent lineup.
New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) resumed treadmill activities on Friday, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Yankees manager Aaron Boone emphasized that the 34-year-old was "moving around" but "not doing a lot." Stanton has been on the 10-day injured list since June 23 with a hamstring strain and is projected to miss around four weeks of play. While this progress is not significant, it is a positive sign to see the slugger moving around without having any setbacks. Before the injury, Stanton was riding a solid .246/.302/.492 slash line with 18 long balls and 45 RBI through 69 games. In addition, he held a 19.4% barrel rate and 54.1% hard-hit rate, which placed him at the top of all qualified hitters. Stanton should be expected to serve as the everyday designated hitter in the Bronx when he returns, but in the meantime, J.D. Davis and Aaron Judge should see the majority of the starts there.
Yankees Put Giancarlo Stanton On 10-Day Injured List
The New York Yankees placed outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a left-hamstring strain and recalled infielder Oswald Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. The move comes after Stanton had to leave Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves in the fourth inning while injuring his left hamstring scoring from second base. Fantasy managers must keep the 34-year-old power hitter stashed in all league formats while he heals up. In the first lineup with Stanton sidelined on Sunday, Aaron Judge is serving as the DH and Trent Grisham is in center field. Even though Grisham is hitting just .113/.263/.306 on the year, he figures to be the biggest beneficiary in playing time for however long Stanton stays on the IL. In 260 at-bats this year, Stanton is hitting .246 (64-for-260) with 18 homers and 45 RBI.
Giancarlo Stanton Exits Saturday's Game Early With Hamstring Tightness
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) exited Saturday's game early against the Atlanta Braves. He will undergo imaging on Sunday to determine the severity of his hamstring injury. The 34-year-old grimaced in pain when rounding from third base to home in the bottom of the fourth inning. He went 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored before exiting. Trent Grisham replaced Stanton in the Yankees lineup during the bottom of the sixth inning. The imaging results will determine if Stanton will require a trip to the injured list, but he is now considered day-to-day. Grisham should see an uptick in at-bats with Stanton sidelined, but he is not on the fantasy radar after slashing .100/.257/.250 over 74 plate appearances in 2024.
