Stanton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-5 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton homered in the eighth inning off Andrew Albers to extend the Yankees' lead to three runs. It is his second home run in three games and he is riding a current nine-game hitting streak. In the month of August, he is batting .306 with 12 RBI and 10 runs. The 31-year-old is slashing .263/.362/.463 with 20 long balls, 59 RBI and 45 runs scored in 423 plate appearances this season.

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.

Stanton was 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Thursday's loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton gave the Yankees an 8-7 lead when he took Liam Hendriks deep to left field in the top of the ninth inning. It was the 18th home run of the season for Stanton, who had entered the night with just one extra-base hit in his previous six contests. After appearing in only 41 games over the last two years, combined, Stanton has played in 94 this season, slashing .259/.359/.452 in 398 plate appearances.

Stanton isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton recorded five consecutive multi-hit games late last week, but he's cooled off recently and has gone 1-for-11 with three walks and three strikeouts across the last three games. Aaron Judge will serve as the designated hitter while Joey Gallo shifts to right field.

Stanton went 2-for-3 with three RBI, a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-3 win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old made the Yankees' lead much more comfortable with a three-RBI double in the seventh inning. Stanton has now posted multi-hit efforts in each of the last two games after not doing so for a 12-game stretch between July 21 and Aug. 2. The slugger is slashing .257/.356/.457 with 17 home runs, 53 RBI, 38 runs scored and 12 doubles through 365 plate appearances.

Stanton went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, four RBI and another run scored during Tuesday's win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton finally broke out of a 9-for-55 slump following the All-Star break with a hot night at the plate, including a 346-foot shot off Adam Plutko in the fourth inning. The 31-year-old hasn't had quite the slugger season fantasy managers have hoped for just yet, but the potential is there. Overall, Stanton is averaging .253/.352/.452 with 17 homers.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Miami.

EDGE Analysis

After making his first 78 starts as a designated hitter, Stanton finally saw action in the outfield earlier this weekend when the Yankees didn't have the DH available in an NL park. Though he checked out fine physically following his starts in left field Friday and Saturday, Stanton will be extended a rest in the series finale. The newly acquired Joey Gallo will get the nod in left Sunday.

Stanton started in left field in Friday's win over Miami. He went 0-for-3 with a strikeout at the plate.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees had teased Stanton returning to the field for several weeks, and that scenario finally played out with the team playing in a National League park. The slugger made four putouts before he was replaced as part of a double switch in the sixth inning. While his return to the outfield went without a hitch, the slugger's hitting woes continued. Since July 9, he is batting just .167 with 25 strikeouts over 60 at-bats.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that the plan to play Stanton in the outfield against Miami this weekend is complicated by the recent addition of Joey Gallo, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton was originally expected to return to the field during New York's recent series at Boston, but that never came to fruition. Boone subsequently indicated that the slugger would play the outfield in his return to Miami -- where he began his professional career -- though the manager's comments Thursday make that scenario murky. Boone didn't completely rule out Stanton, Gallo and Aaron Judge forming a towering outfield trio in Miami, however, adding, "Giancarlo is physically prepared and ready for that," per Marly Rivera of ESPN.com.
