Stanton went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton accounted for all of the Yankees' offense Tuesday, starting with his bases-clearing double in the third inning. He then belted a two-run shot in the sixth inning for his 17th homer of the year. Stanton has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball since making his season debut June 16; he's slashing .313/.388/.663 with 23 extra-base hits and 46 RBI in just 183 plate appearances. Stanton is 15-for-32 (.469) with seven home runs over his last 11 games.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton will get a breather after he started in right field in the final two games of the Yankees' weekend series versus Boston while going 3-for-7 with a solo home run, one double and two additional runs between the contests. His move to the bench for the series opener versus Washington clears a spot in the outfield for Jasson Dominguez.

Stanton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
On a day when the Yankees suffered a blowout loss to their division rival, Stanton at least made sure his team didn't get shut out when he took Garrett Crochet deep in the fourth inning. It was the continuation of a lengthy power surge by the veteran slugger, who has gone deep four times in his past five games and 12 times in his last 25 contests. Stanton is up to 16 long balls on the campaign as he pushes to reach 20 home runs for the fifth straight season despite not getting into any games until mid-June due to elbow injuries.

Stanton is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton is slashing an absurd .390/.490/.927 with seven home runs in August, but Aaron Judge (elbow) remains limited to designated hitter duties and the Yankees aren't comfortable playing Stanton in right field every day. Cody Bellinger will be in right field for Friday's contest.

Stanton slugged a pinch-hit, two-run home run in the 10th inning of Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off the bench to face Tampa Bay closer Pete Fairbanks in a 3-3 tie, Stanton crushed a fastball to left field with an exit velocity of 108.1 mph. It was part of a barrage that has seen the Yankees become the first team since the 1999 Reds to homer 14 times in a two-game span, per Andy Nesbitt of SI.com. Stanton's more than done his part with three of those long balls, and through 14 games in August he's slashing a stunning .432/.523/1.027 with seven homers and 17 RBI.

Stanton went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 13-3 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
It was Stanton's 37th career multi-homer game and his first such effort of the season. The veteran slugger has logged at least one hit in six of his last seven outings, and he's been tearing the cover off the ball since the beginning of July. Stanton is batting .327 with 14 homers, three doubles and 35 RBI over his last 110 at-bats (34 games).

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in his appearance on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Stanton (soreness) will start in right field and bat cleanup Tuesday versus the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton had been held out of the lineup for the previous three games while dealing with general soreness, but he served as a pinch hitter during Sunday's St. Louis and will return to right field Tuesday following a team off day Monday. Boone also noted that Stanton won't be in the lineup Wednesday against Tampa Bay prior to the team's four-game series against the Red Sox that begins Thursday.

Stanton (soreness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals but said he's available to pinch hit off the bench, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger is sitting for a third straight game after making four starts in the right field over a five-game stretch, which marked the first time that he had played the field since 2023. Stanton is apparently dealing with some soreness, though both he and manager Aaron Boone declined to offer any specifics. The Yankees have a team day off Monday before Tuesday's game in Tampa Bay, and it remains to be seen if he'll be cleared to return to the outfield for that two-game series. Since returning from the injured list in early August, Aaron Judge has been limited to serving as the designated hitter after receiving an elbow injection, and the reigning MVP has understandably been prioritized at the DH spot over Stanton.
