New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton had an interesting second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. After striking out in his first plate appearance, he was plunked in the third inning by Tigers pitcher Mike Fiers. Stanton took exception to the act, perhaps harking back to a time when Fiers hit him in the face. He barked something at Fiers, having to be walked to first by Detroit's catcher. His next time up, Stanton smashed a home run to left field, staring down Fier[...]

After Miguel Andujar's two-run home run put the New York Yankees up in the second inning of Saturday afternoon's matchup against the Baltimore Orioles, another home run increased the lead. It came an inning later off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton, who's still trying to find his way with the Yankees. The 28-year-old stepped up to the plate with a runner on and proceeded to demolish a ball over the right-field fence. It was one of two hits for the DH, who was batting cleanup. It was the 12th home[...]

New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton seems to be getting comfortable smacking home runs in pairs. The 28-year-old connected on two home runs Tuesday night in a 3-2 victory over the rival Boston Red Sox, putting the Yankees in a tie for both the AL East lead and the best record in baseball. It was the third time this season that the reigning NL MVP hit multiple home runs in one game, although against Red Sox, this was arguably his biggest game this season. For the year, he now has seven hom[...]

New York Yankees outfielder and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton will sit on Sunday against the Cleveland Indians. Nothing has been reported regarding an injury, so he is just getting a customary rest day. He should be taken out of all lineups for today. Stanton has gotten off to a slow start this season, so a day of rest will hopefully help him clear his head.

Giancarlo Stanton had his finest game as a New York Yankee to date as the club romped over the Minnesota Twins, 14-1 in the Bronx Monday night. The reigning MVP of the National League picked up four hits in four plate appearances, also picking up a walk. In the fifth inning he crushed a mammoth home run to left, his fifth of the season. The 28-year-old, who was being booed not too long ago, was all smiles tonight as everything went right for the Yankees. Perhaps as the club takes positive steps [...]

After an eventful beginning to his tenure with the New York Yankees that has seen him get showered with boos after miserable five-strikeout games, outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is slowly showing some improvement. On Friday night, he drilled his fourth home run of the season and first in over two weeks as the Yankees fought but eventually lost to the Toronto Blue Jays. Over the last seven games, the 28-year-old is hitting .222. Not necessarily good numbers, but an improvement on what has been a r[...]

As his struggles persist nearly a month into this 2018 regular season, New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton could be dropped in the lineup. Manager Aaron Boone expressed the possibility of the move after Tuesday's disappointing 9-1 defeat in the Bronx to the lowly Miami Marlins. The reigning National League MVP went hitless in four plate appearances, striking out two more times. Presently, he's batting .197 with three home runs and 10 RBI, leading the major leagues in strikeouts. Boone[...]
