Stanton went 2-for-4 with a double, two walks, three runs and three RBI in Sunday's 18-4 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees enjoyed a big game on offense, and Stanton was in the middle of the action. He reached base four times for the third time this season and was one of three New York players to plate at least three runs. Stanton had gone 3-for-31 at the plate over his previous 11 games entering Sunday, so he'll look to to use the standout performance as a starting point for busting out of the slump.

Stanton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-0 victory versus the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton was part of a homer barrage against Cubs starter Matt Swarmer, as the slugger's 436-foot, fourth-inning blast was one of six solo shots hit by the Yankees against the rookie hurler. Of note, Stanton's blast was hit at an estimated 119.8 mph -- the hardest hit homer in the majors this season and the fourth-hardest in the Statcast era, per Sarah Langs of MLB.com. Stanton has just two hits over his past 15 at-bats, but both have left the yard.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton went 1-for-5 with one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's victory over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton hit home run number 12 in the first inning of Tuesday's game. It was his only offensive output of the game, but it helped the Yankees gain an early lead. Stanton was the designated hitter in the game, his third time serving in that role since returning from a stint on the IL for an ankle injury.

Stanton is not in Sunday's lineup against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
He was activated from the injured list Saturday and went 1-for-4 with a double and two strikeouts. It's not surprising for the Yankees to ease Stanton back into the mix, especially given the 11:35 AM start time for this one.

Stanton (ankle) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton was dealing with right ankle inflammation since late May, but he resumed baseball activities shortly after landing on the injured list. After performing well while running and taking batting practice this week, the 32-year-old will be back in action following a minimal IL stint. Over 20 games in May, Stanton slashed .301/.388/.616 with seven homers, two doubles, 21 RBI and 10 runs.

Stanton (ankle) may be activated when he is first eligible to return from the IL on Saturday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton took batting practice Tuesday, and manager Aaron Boone indicated that the session went well. The slugger was placed on the 10-day injured list with ankle inflammation May 24, but it appears that he could require only a minimum stay. Matt Carpenter has filled in at designated hitter in four of New York's past five contests.

Stanton (ankle) took batting practice Tuesday and also took part in a light running workout, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton resumed hitting a few days ago, but his ability to start a running program marks an important milestone in his recovery from right ankle inflammation. The slugger said he's encouraged by his progress and plans to ramp up his running program through the end of the week. The Yankees will likely reassess Stanton over the weekend before deciding if he's ready to return from the 10-day injured list or if he'll require a brief minor-league rehab assignment beforehand.

Stanton (ankle) has resumed hitting, and he could return to action after the minimum 10 days on the injured list, the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yankees manager Aaron Boone described Stanton's hitting as "light," per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, but it's a good sign that the slugger is taking swings just a few days after going on the injured list. Boone sounded optimistic about Stanton's outlook, stating, "I think we avoided a [more serious] situation there, so that's encouraging." Stanton is eligible to come off the IL on June 4.
