Stanton will sit Saturday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton returned from missing nearly seven weeks with a left hamstring injury and immediately looked like his usual self, hitting a solo homer in Friday's loss. He won't be asked to start two days in a row right away and will continue to have his workload monitored, but he should be in the lineup on a regular basis going forward. Josh Donaldson will be Saturday's designated hitter.

Stanton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in a loss to the Dodgers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton spent almost seven weeks on the IL with a strained left hamstring before making his return to New York's lineup Friday. The slugger didn't seem to miss a beat, as he was one of only two Yankees to reach base multiple times in the loss. Stanton tagged Clayton Kershaw for a solo shot in the fourth inning, giving him five long balls in just 14 contests so far this season. He's been productive when able to play, adding 12 RBI and a .273/.310/.600 slash line over 58 plate appearances, but Stanton's health is a constant concern in fantasy given his assortment of significant injuries over the past several years.

Stanton was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The slugger wound up being sidelined for about seven weeks with a strained left hamstring. He played only one rehab game, but the Yankees evidently felt that was enough as he returns ahead of the weekend series against the Dodgers. Stanton is expected to play plenty in the outfield eventually, but he'll be limited to designated hitter duties for a couple weeks.

Stanton (hamstring) is headed to Los Angeles to rejoin the Yankees for their series against the Dodgers and could be activated from the injured list Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has played just one rehab game following a nearly seven-week absence with a strained hamstring, but evidently the Yankees are convinced he's ready. He was in the designated hitter spot for that one rehab contest and the plan is to only DH for a couple weeks for the Yanks before eventually playing some in the outfield, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports. He's put up an .854 OPS with four homers in 13 games for the Bombers this season.

Stanton (hamstring) will being his minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has been on the road back from a left hamstring strain, and the team confirmed Monday night that he's been cleared to embark on a rehab stint. He hasn't appeared in a game since April 15, so he'll likely need at least a handful of games in the minors before being reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Manager Aaron Boone told reporters Sunday that Stanton (hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, and that he's not ruled out yet for the series next weekend against the Dodgers, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton was able to take on-field batting practice against a pitching machine prior to Friday's game against the Padres, and the veteran slugger continues to make progress from the hamstring strain that has sidelined him since the middle of April. Even if Stanton can't return next weekend against the Dodgers, there's a very good chance that his right-handed bat is back in the middle of the order for the Yankees in the early portion of June.

Stanton (hamstring) took on-field batting practice against a pitching machine Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton is on track to begin a minor-league rehab assignment early next week and could then possibly return to the Yankees' active roster during their big three-game weekend series at Dodger Stadium that runs from June 2-4. The 33-year-old slugger had four home runs and 11 RBI through 13 games with New York when he suffered a Grade 2 left hamstring strain in mid-April.

Stanton (hamstring) is hoping to begin a rehab assignment early next week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton was expected to begin a rehab assignment this weekend, though he isn't quite ready to take the final step in his recovery. At this point, his timeline to return appears to have been pushed back by only a few days.

Stanton (hamstring) will undergo imaging Thursday and, if it comes back favorably, could begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton will play the outfield while on his rehab assignment and is expected to see action there in addition to designated hitter when he rejoins the Yankees. That could come at some point next week, assuming all goes well with his rehab games. Stanton has been on the shelf since mid-April with a strained left hamstring.

Stanton (hamstring) is close to beginning a rehab assignment, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton is a month into a projected 4-6 week timetable with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain and appears to have progressed to the point that rehab games are just around the corner. He has been getting work in the outfield while rehabbing and is expected to be used some in the field in addition to designated hitter once he's ready to return.
