Stanton (hamstring) is at least a week away from returning, according to general manager Brian Cashman, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was just reported that Aaron Judge (calf) will be out another three weeks, so Stanton figures to beat him back into the Yankees lineup. That said, it could be more than a week for Stanton, so an early September return seems like the best-case scenario.

Stanton (hamstring) is expected to return in two or three weeks, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton hit .293/.453/585 through 14 games this season before suffering yet another injury, landing on the injured list in early August with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain. He's expected to resume baseball activities soon, but he won't return until the start of September unless things progress faster than expected.

Stanton was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain Tuesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The diagnosis, which comes after Stanton underwent an MRI on Monday, is comparatively good news, as a Grade 1 strain is the least severe type of strain, though a standard return timeline from such an injury is usually three or four weeks, which represents a sizable portion of the remaining schedule. The Yankees have yet to give an official estimate for the slugger's return. Mike Ford handled designated hitter duties Sunday in his absence.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Stanton (hamstring) would undergo an MRI on Monday in New York City, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even though the Yankees haven't determined the full extent of the injury Stanton suffered in the second half of Saturday's doubleheader with the Rays, Boone acknowledged that the hamstring issue was significant enough to sideline the slugger for at least the next week, which explains the club's decision to move him to the injured list Sunday. The Yankees slotted Mike Ford in as the designated hitter for the series finale with the Rays, but expect a number of players to cycle in at that spot while Stanton is sidelined.

The Yankees placed Stanton on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

EDGE Analysis

New York hasn't revealed the grade of the hamstring strain Stanton suffered in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Rays, but the slugging outfielder's history of being a slow healer makes it more likely than not that he'll be sidelined for longer than the minimum 10 days. The injury is yet another disappointing health-related setback for Stanton, who was off to a hot start to the abbreviated season with a 1.038 OPS through 53 plate appearances. Stanton's absence will likely allow Aaron Judge to see more regular starts at designated hitter while Mike Tauchman is expected to pick up more action in the outfield.

Stanton (hamstring) is expected to be placed on the injured list after exiting Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader in Tampa Bay, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Aaron Boone said the veteran slugger will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, but the initial diagnosis doesn't look promising for the immediate future. Stanton won't have an official timeline for his return until the MRI results are announced, but even if he avoids the IL he's unlikely to be available for at least a few days.

Stanton was removed from Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rays with left hamstring tightness, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger was lifted for a pinch hitter during the sixth inning of the nightcap, though it's unclear when the injury cropped up. Stanton went 2-for-4 with a home run, three runs and two walks before exiting with the injury. He should be considered day-to-day until the team provides an update.

Stanton will be on the bench for the afternoon portion of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees won't ask the oft-injured slugger to play two games in one day, even as a designated hitter. Aaron Judge will rest his legs in that spot for the afternoon game, with Mike Tauchman starting in right field.

Stanton went 0-for-2 with a walk, run scored, hit-by-pitch and stolen base in a victory over the Phillies on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton isn't known for his speed on the basepaths, but he has registered as many as 13 stolen bases in a season in the majors (in 2014). While it's probably a stretch to expect the slugger to become a sudden source of steals, he did recently report losing 20 pounds since last season, and the theft Monday is a strong indication that the calf issue that dogged Stanton during spring training is long behind him.

Stanton has lost about 20 pounds since last season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton's listed weight typically hovers around 245 pounds, so he remains an imposing figure despite the weight loss. The slugger indicated that the decision to become leaner was made in response to his struggle to stay healthy last season. "I had a lot of time to think over last year," Stanton said. "I just wanted to cover all my bases. I tried to figure out what was the best way for me to stay on the field. What's the best way to for me to progress? I thought I'd give this a try and be closer to the weight of my younger years." The drop hasn't affected Stanton from a power perspective -- he has already hit two home runs and two doubles in 25 at-bats after compiling three of each in 59 at-bats last season. Most importantly, Stanton has remained healthy in the early part of the campaign after playing in only 18 games in 2019.
