It was a familiar story for Giancarlo Stanton in 2022. He missed time with achilles and calf problems, playing just 110 games and since playing 158 games in 2018 (his first season with the Yankees), Stanton has now played in a total of 290 games out of a possible 546 (53%). He has played in 77% of games over the last two seasons, so there is reason to believe he may still be able to contribute enough to be a fantasy asset and when you consider he had 31 homers, 78 RBI, 53 runs and no stolen ...

The New York Yankees may pass on the remaining free-agent left fielders such as Jurickson Profar, David Peralta and Corey Dickerson because they want to stay below the $293 million "Steven Cohen tax" threshold -- they are currently sitting at $290 million. The Yanks aren't opposed to giving Oswaldo Cabrera and Estevan Florial a shot in left field next year. Manager Aaron Boone also talked about Giancarlo Stanton potentially playing more outfield "in spurts" in 2023. Even if the Bronx Bombers ...

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that he sees Giancarlo Stanton playing the outfield "in spurts" next season. Boone prefers to use Stanton in right field at Yankee Stadium on days when Aaron Judge serves as the designated hitter. Stanton could also play left field in other ballparks. The 33-year-old right-handed slugger has mostly been a designated hitter for the Yankees. He played in 38 games in the outfield last season, but none of those games came in the second half of the season. ...

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton went deep again Thursday night, hitting a two-run homer as part of a 3-for-4 day at the plate. Stanton has largely struggled in September, with a .692 OPS in 64 plate appearances, but he's now hit home runs in two of his last three games. That gives Stanton 28 homers, 49 runs scored, and 75 RBI to go with his .763 OPS this year. It hasn't been the campaign many hoped for from the slugger, but he still has time to contribute for the Yankees and ...

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton made his one hit count in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Pirates, going 1-for-4 with a walk-off grand slam, a walk, and three strikeouts. Stanton lined a ninth-inning Wil Crowe offering just over the left-field wall with the bases loaded to give the Yankees the win. The veteran has had an up-and-down season, slashing .210/.295/.453 with 27 home runs and 73 RBI. Hopefully, he can get things going and finish the regular season strong ...

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (foot) and third baseman Josh Donaldson are back in the starting lineup on Saturday against Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Corey Kluber. Stanton is serving as the designated hitter and is batting second after missing the last four games after he fouled a ball off his foot on Monday. Fantasy managers will want to get the power-hitting right-hander back into their lineups immediately. Donaldson was reinstated from the paternity list and will return to ...

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (foot) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Stanton fouled a ball off his foot on Monday and hasn't played since. The good news, however, is that he came off the bench as a pinch-hitter on Thursday, so there's a strong chance he'll return to the starting lineup at some point this weekend. With the 32-year-old slugger out again Friday, Miguel Andujar will serve as the designated hitter again and bat fifth against ...

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is unsure outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (foot) will be in the lineup for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. "We'll see. I'm not sure yet.," said Boone. Stanton appeared as a pinch hitter in Thursday's loss to the Twins. He went 0-for-1 with a strikeout. The 32-year-old has been out of the lineup for the last three games with a foot injury. He is slashing .213/.296/.451 with 24 homers, 64 RBI, and 40 runs across 371 plate appearances in 2022. Fantasy ...

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (foot) pinch hit during Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Twins in his first game action since he fouled a ball of his foot on Monday. The slugger came in with a runner on third in the eighth, but ultimately struck out after a lengthy nine-pitch at-bat. When manager Aaron Boone was asked postgame about Stanton's availability for Friday's game he replied with an unsatisfying "we'll see." It wouldn't be a surprise to see him get another breather tomorrow ...

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (foot) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins. Stanton will miss his third straight game after missing the entire doubleheader on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should consider the 32-year-old slugger to be day-to-day for now. With Stanton out again on Thursday, Miguel Andujar will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth against Twins right-hander Sonny Gray. Andujar is actually still searching for his first ...
