Stanton went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in New York's win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton followed up Aaron Judge's two-run homer with a solo shot of his own just two batters later in the bottom of the first, giving the Yankees an early 3-0 lead. He also added two singles in the contest, giving the slugger his first multi-hit performance of the season. Stanton had gone hitless through New York's first three games to open this month and is still hitting just .214 on the season after Saturday's three-hit effort.

Stanton is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has been slow out of the gate this season, going 3-for-20 with a 1:11 BB:K, although one of those hits was a home run. The Yankees will give Aaron Judge a start at designated hitter Wednesday, with Trent Grisham getting the call in center field.

Stanton is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis

Stanton went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Friday in a 7-1 win against Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton put the game further on ice for New York with his 419-foot solo blast in the ninth inning. The slugger also fanned twice in the game and has four strikeouts through 10 plate appearances on the campaign, but fantasy managers who roster him are likely doing so almost exclusively for his power. Stanton has averaged 30 long balls over the past three campaigns despite batting only .230 while missing considerable time with injuries during that span.

Stanton went 3-for-3 with three home runs and eight RBI in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
After slimming down over the winter, Stanton got off to a rather slow start to spring training, but he flipped the narrative with one huge offensive performance. He hit a grand slam among his three homers, and with three swings of the bat, he improved his Grapefruit League line from .250/.314/.406 to .314/.359/.714. It's nice to see his trademark power is still there, but durability remains a major concern given Stanton has fallen short of 400 plate appearances each of the past two seasons.

Stanton entered spring training noticeably slimmer after adding more movement and running to his offseason workouts, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton indicated that he isn't certain how much weight he lost, but pictures from camp show that he is slimmer than in past campaigns. Manager Aaron Boone suggested that both the player and the team feel the lost weight can help Stanton "with some of the things that he's dealt with from an injury standpoint," adding a reminder that the veteran slugger is over 30 years of age, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Stanton has missed 113 games combined over the past two campaigns, so it would be a significant boon to his fantasy value if he can avoid the injured list this season.

Stanton is not in Sunday's lineup against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
He will likely end up not getting an at-bat during the final series of the season, as New York is giving most of the at-bats to the less proven position players on the roster. Stanton did not have a multi-hit game in September and hit .136 with four home runs, seven runs and nine RBI in 68 at-bats during the month.

Stanton remains on the bench for Saturday's game against the Royals, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Yankees eliminated from the playoffs, the team is prioritizing giving at-bats to younger players, sitting the 33-year-old Stanton twice in a row. Even if the Yankees did have something to play for, they might not want to give everyday at-bats to a player who's hit .191/.275/.420 in 101 games this season. His 89 wRC+ sets a career low by a wide margin over his 116 wRC+ from last season and doesn't bode well for him heading into his age-34 campaign.

Stanton is absent from the lineup Friday at Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Aaron Judge will fill the DH role as Everson Pereira, Estevan Florial and Oswaldo Cabrera start across the outfield. Stanton is sitting on a four-game hitting streak, but he has posted an overall .191 batting average and .275 on-base percentage through 415 plate appearances this season with New York.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton will take seat for the second straight game and the third time in four contests while he battles through a slump at the dish. With Stanton out of the lineup, Aaron Judge will serve as the Yankees' designated hitter.
