Stanton isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton turned in an 0-for-4 performance at the plate during Friday's victory over the Rays, and he'll get a breather during Saturday's contest. Aaron Judge will take over as New York's designated hitter, allowing Trent Grisham to start in center field and bat sixth.

Stanton isn't in the Yankees' lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton will get a breather after recording a hit in each of the Yankees' last five games, going 8-for-19 with three homers and seven RBI in that span. He'll likely return to the lineup for Game 2, but in the meantime Aaron Judge will fill in as New York's DH, allowing Trent Grisham to start in center field.

Stanton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton generated an extra-base hit for the fifth consecutive game, with Wednesday's coming via a solo homer off Bryan Hoeing in the sixth frame. Through 11 games, Stanton boasts a .605 slugging percentage which would be his best since 2017 if it holds.

Stanton went 1-for-4 with a grand slam during Sunday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton launched his second homer in as many days, following up Saturday's solo home run with a monstrous grand slam. He now trails Manny Machado for the most grand slams by an active player by one with 11. After submitting batting averages of .211 and .191 the past two seasons, Stanton's fantasy value will likely be tied to his home run total once again this season after going 7-for-32 (.219) at the plate through eight games.

Stanton went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in New York's win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton followed up Aaron Judge's two-run homer with a solo shot of his own just two batters later in the bottom of the first, giving the Yankees an early 3-0 lead. He also added two singles in the contest, giving the slugger his first multi-hit performance of the season. Stanton had gone hitless through New York's first three games to open this month and is still hitting just .214 on the season after Saturday's three-hit effort.

Stanton is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has been slow out of the gate this season, going 3-for-20 with a 1:11 BB:K, although one of those hits was a home run. The Yankees will give Aaron Judge a start at designated hitter Wednesday, with Trent Grisham getting the call in center field.

Stanton is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has started at DH over the last two games, going 2-for-10 with one home run, one RBI and four strikeouts. The Yankees will move Aaron Judge to designated hitter and start Trent Grisham in center field for Saturday's contest.

Stanton went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Friday in a 7-1 win against Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton put the game further on ice for New York with his 419-foot solo blast in the ninth inning. The slugger also fanned twice in the game and has four strikeouts through 10 plate appearances on the campaign, but fantasy managers who roster him are likely doing so almost exclusively for his power. Stanton has averaged 30 long balls over the past three campaigns despite batting only .230 while missing considerable time with injuries during that span.

Stanton went 3-for-3 with three home runs and eight RBI in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
After slimming down over the winter, Stanton got off to a rather slow start to spring training, but he flipped the narrative with one huge offensive performance. He hit a grand slam among his three homers, and with three swings of the bat, he improved his Grapefruit League line from .250/.314/.406 to .314/.359/.714. It's nice to see his trademark power is still there, but durability remains a major concern given Stanton has fallen short of 400 plate appearances each of the past two seasons.

Stanton entered spring training noticeably slimmer after adding more movement and running to his offseason workouts, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton indicated that he isn't certain how much weight he lost, but pictures from camp show that he is slimmer than in past campaigns. Manager Aaron Boone suggested that both the player and the team feel the lost weight can help Stanton "with some of the things that he's dealt with from an injury standpoint," adding a reminder that the veteran slugger is over 30 years of age, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Stanton has missed 113 games combined over the past two campaigns, so it would be a significant boon to his fantasy value if he can avoid the injured list this season.
