A handful of intriguing rookies made their MLB debuts this past week, with two of the top 100 prospects according to MLB Pipeline joining The Show. Save for Jansen, I do not really foresee any of the recently promoted prospects being impact players, at least for fantasy, down the stretch, so it still remained a rather ho-hum week in fake baseball land. Just two more weeks remain until rosters expand, at which point we should see a handful of guys that are on their team's respective forty-man [...]

If David Bote and Jacob Nix had gotten off to the starts they've had in May, they would be nearly universally owned as fantasy owners pounce on the next big thing. However, it's August. The vast majority of fantasy baseball rosters have been abandoned in favor of the real-life pennant chase, hockey, basketball, and that silly game where players try to assault each other for the right to do a stupid dance in the end zone. I think we cover that last one here at Rotoballer. Anyway, Bote and Nix [...]

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton continued his torrid stretch at the plate on Sunday, homering for the fifth time in his last six games. In the very first inning of Sunday's matchup against the Texas Rangers, Stanton took starter Martin Perez deep for his 30th home run of the season. He also singled to right field in the fifth inning. Stanton is now hitting .313 in August with six home runs in and 12 runs batted in. He's taken up the slack left by Aaron Judge (wrist) and performe[...]

The New York Yankees are suddenly seeing a form of 2017 Giancarlo Stanton following a fourth straight victory Thursday night in the Bronx against the Texas Rangers. Last year's NL MVP clocked a home run in his third straight game, this one the hardest one hit since Statcast started measuring them in 2015. It was the only hit of the night for Stanton, but it was one of five home runs on the night, as the Yankees from before the All-Star break are beginning to reappear. As for Stanton, he's at th[...]

The New York Yankees sealed a sweep of the Chicago White Sox Wednesday night by putting the game away early on. After going down two runs in the first inning, the offense broke out for six runs in the second, led by Giancarlo Stanton. The 29-year-old followed his Tuesday night home run with a grand slam on [...]

After nine innings wasn't enough to settle Tuesday night's game between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox, the game carried into extra innings. The star for the Yankees in the 10th inning was Giancarlo Stanton, who bounced back from an embarrassing strikeout on Monday night to drill a go-ahead two-run home run. It was his second hit of the night, but clearly his biggest. [...]

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) is dealing with tightness in his left hamstring and had it wrapped with ice after games Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Yankees likely want to be cautions with Stanton while Aaron Judge and catcher Gary Sanchez are sidelined. It's the reason why Stanton served as the designated in two games over the weekend. He's having to do some extra lifting for the Yanks offense with Judge and Sanchez on the disabled list. Stanton is hitting a coo[...]

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is hitting a respectable .277 with 24 home runs and 64 RBI this season. He's been in a bit of a rut the last seven days, going just 4-for-23, but a matchup against the rival Boston Red Sox might be just what the doctor ordered on Thursday. Against the Red Sox this season, Stanton has hit a gaudy .424 with an insane 1.258 OPS. He also doesn't have to face lefty ace Chris Sale (shoulder) on Thursday, who went on the disabled list with inflammation in[...]

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton managed just a single in [...]

If there's one opposing player the Tampa Bay Rays do not want to face at home at the moment, it's New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton. The 2017 NL MVP recorded four hits in four tries Monday night, now having recorded nine consecutive hits at Tropicana Field. He had one last plate appearance in the ninth but would be walked intentionally to load the bases. [...]
