Stanton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during a 2-0 win over the Red Sox in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
While he didn't start the first game Tuesday, Stanton came through as a pinch hitter with a big RBI single in a 5-3 victory, and then he clobbered a Nathan Eovaldi pitch in the fourth inning of the nightcap to give the Yankees an insurance run. Stanton extended his hitting streak to seven games during the twin bill, although he doesn't have a multi-hit effort in that stretch. On the season he's slashing .263/.361/.458 with 19 homers and 58 RBI through 99 contests.

Stanton will sit for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees will likely give a handful of their regulars a rest in one of the two games, and giving one to Stanton makes sense considering his health history. Joey Gallo will rest his legs as the designated hitter in his absence.
