New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (quadriceps) is not in the lineup as the team takes on the Astros in Game 4 of the ALCS. The burly slugger simply cannot stay healthy but the team is hoping he can contribute at some point in the series. Stanton went 2-for-4 with a home run in Game 1 but Aaron Hicks will slide into his place in the lineup. Stanton's status should be considered day-to-day heading towards the weekend.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he's "not sure" if outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (quadriceps) will be ready for Game 4 of the American League Championship Series against the Astros on Thursday. Stanton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the Game 1 win but was injured and hasn't played the last two games. The good news is that Game 4 was pushed back to Thursday after being rained out on Wednesday, so perhaps that'll give Stanton the needed rest in order to return. Cameron Maybin ...

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton will ride the bench to start Game 3 against Gerrit Cole and the Houston Astros. Stanton is 2-for-4 in the series thus far but the Yankees have opted to start Aaron Hicks in his place. It has been a lost season for the slugger but Stanton has come up with some big home runs in the postseason thus far. Even more curious, Stanton is slashing .300/.471/.800 in 10 career at-bats against Cole with one home run and two doubles. Stanton will represent a ...

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton finished up the season strong heading into Game 1 of the ALDS against the Twins. Stanton popped two home runs and drove in six runs over his last seven games played to finish off the regular season. No one doubts Stanton's talent and power but another injury is always right around the corner. As long as he is in the lineup, however, the slugger will be an intriguing play in DFS for the postseason.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (rest) is back in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Stanton received a routine rest day on Friday, but is refreshed and ready to play on Saturday. Stanton will bat cleanup and play left field versus righty T.J. Zeuch.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is out of Friday's lineup against the Blue Jays after playing the previous two games in his return from injury. This is likely just a normal part of New York's plan to ease the slugger back after seeing that he has played in only a total of nine games in 2019. Clint Frazier, Brett Gardner, and Tyler Wade will man the outfield for the Yankees on Friday, with Aaron Judge at DH.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (knee) was activated off the Injured List on Wednesday and is headed right into the team's lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels. He's hitting fifth and playing left field. Stanton hasn't seen the field since late June as he's been sidelined with a PCL strain in his right knee and recovering from other injuries as well. Stanton will likely take some time to get back into form, so he's a risky play in daily leagues or standard fantasy ...

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (knee) is expected to start hitting on the field this week in Seattle. Because Stanton will also need a minor league rehab assignment before returning to the big leagues, it's not reasonable to expect him to make an impact in the fantasy playoffs next month. Stanton said he wants around three weeks of big league at-bats before the postseason begins in October. It's been a truly lost season for the 29-year-old slugger, as Stanton has only had 31 ...

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (knee) is confident that he can return to the field in September. Stanton led the Bombers with 38 home runs and 100 RBI last year but has played in only nine games in 2019 due to a biceps strain, shoulder strain, calf strain and a PCL strain in his knee. Both general manager Brian Cashman and manager Aaron Boone both believe that Stanton will be back next month as well. He has been doing tee-and-toss drills, throwing and running at around 85 percent...

Needing to make room for relievers Brady Lail and Joe Mantiply, the Yankees moved Giancarlo Stanton to the 60-day IL as he recovers from a right PCL strain. The move means that Stanton cannot return before August 25 but was mostly a procedural move as GM Brian Cashman does not expect the slugger back before September 1.
