Stanton (hamstring) did defensive work Friday and will be part of the outfield mix once he returns from the injured list, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Injuries are a perennial part of the picture with Stanton, and he made it until only mid-April before suffering his first of the year. He's nearly a month into what was expected to be a six-week absence due to a hamstring strain and appears to be making steady progress, though his exact return date has yet to become clear.

Stanton (hamstring) did some light jogging at Yankee Stadium pregame Wednesday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton is two-and-a-half weeks removed from suffering a Grade 2 left hamstring strain and has evidently been cleared to get some light exercises in. He is expected to miss around six weeks of action, putting him in line to return in late May or early June.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that the team hopes for Stanton (hamstring) to return in six weeks, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After hitting the injured list Sunday with a Grade 2 strain in his left hamstring, Stanton will officially be out for nearly two months. Josh Donaldson could receive the bulk of the Yankees' DH opportunities after he returns from his own hamstring injury in the next few days.

Stanton, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, was diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain of his left hamstring after undergoing an MRI, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger remains without an official timeline for his return, but Grade 2 strains typically carry a recovery timeline of 4-to-6 weeks. Willie Calhoun started at designated hitter and could see more run while Stanton is sidelined, though the expected return of Josh Donaldson (hamstring) from the IL later this week may limit Calhoun's opportunities.

Stanton is being placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a strained hamstring, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old apparently suffered the injury during Saturday's matchup with the Twins as he legged out a long double. Stanton is scheduled to undergo an MRI, which should provide some clarity on the severity of the injury. Oswald Peraza was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in corresponding move.

Stanton is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton started the past four games and will take a seat after he went 4-for-16 with a home run, a double, three RBI and six strikeouts during that stretch. Willie Calhoun will bat sixth as the designated hitter in Sunday's series finale.

Stanton will not be in the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game in Cleveland, manager Aaron Boone told the Talkin' Yanks podcast Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Boone wants a left-handed heavy lineup against Hunter Gaddis and Stanton played the outfield Monday, so it's a good time to get him a breather. Willie Calhoun will be the designated hitter and Franchy Cordero will be in right field Tuesday.

Stanton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

He crushed an Austin Voth offering to left field in the fifth inning that traveled an estimated 436 feet, capping the scoring on the night. Stanton appears locked in to begin the season, batting .286 (8-for-28) with three homers, five RBI and six runs through seven games, and he's only struck out three times.

Stanton is not in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the Phillies, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton will get a day off after he started each of New York's first five games of the campaign, going 4-for-20 with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored over those contests. The 33-year-old has been making sound contact at the plate this season, producing an average exit velocity of 95.0 mph, ranking him third in the majors behind Aaron Judge and Yordan Alvarez. In his place Wednesday, Gleyber Torres will take over at designated hitter while Josh Donaldson starts at third base after some shuffling and bats fifth versus Philadelphia.

Stanton went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-0 win against San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton's two-run shot to center in the third inning traveled an estimated 485 feet, making it the second-farthest homer of his career, per Marly Rivera of ESPN.com. It was also the slugger's second homer in as many days. Stanton has one hit in each of his three games so far this season.
