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.

Manager Aaron Boone said after Wednesday's win over the Orioles that Stanton is dealing with right ankle inflammation rather than a calf strain as previously announced, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old's injury was labeled as a calf issue when he exited Tuesday's contest and when he was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier Wednesday, but it instead appears he's managing an ankle issue. It's unclear exactly how long Stanton will be out, but Boone hopes the slugger will be able to be activated when first eligible June 4.

Stanton was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right calf strain.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton underwent an MRI on Wednesday morning after suffering the injury during Tuesday's contest against the Orioles, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. The severity of the strain is not yet clear, and there's no official timeline for the 32-year-old's return. Joey Gallo (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move.

Stanton (calf) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old exited Tuesday's matchup with the Orioles due to tightness in his right calf. Stanton seems unlikely to be available for Wednesday's series finale after undergoing the MRI, but he could avoid a trip to the injured list if the imaging results are encouraging.

Stanton was removed from Tuesday's game against the Orioles with right calf tightness, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before being replaced by a pinch hitter during the seventh inning. The severity of the injury remains unclear, and the veteran slugger should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.
