This is borne out of a genuine belief that more often than not, resisting the urge to make drastic decisions in April will play out to your benefit. Rising above the roil of doubt and apprehension is the percentage play.That doesn't mean I don't understand the impulse - or that staying the course doesn't sometimes lead to a crash. Like life, fantasy baseball is [...]

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (biceps, shoulder) is still only doing work off the tee and soft toss, but he could hit off a pitching machine soon. Stanton has been out since April 1 due to a left biceps strain, but he later dealt with a shoulder issue. The slugger should be back later this month if he can avoid further setbacks, and he should remain stashed in all leagues for his elite power stroke. The Yankees can't wait to get both Stanton and Aaron Judge back in their lineup[...]
