Stanton went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 10-8 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
It took him all of five games after returning from his lengthy IL stint for Stanton to join in 2019's home run parade, as he launched a sixth-inning slider from Derek Law over the center-field fence. Assuming he can stay healthy, look for the 29-year-old slugger to quickly make up for lost time in the power department.

Stanton is not in the lineup Sunday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Stanton will require frequent off days as he works his way back from a long injury layoff. Sunday's contest is his second time out of the lineup in the six games since his return. Brett Gardner starts in left field.

Stanton went 3-for-5 with two runs scored Thursday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton didn't join in the Yankees barrage of home runs Thursday, but did collect three hits -- all singles. He came around to score twice, his first since being activated from the injured list on June 18. Stanton has only 24 plate appearances for the season, but this performance gives some confidence he won't be significantly effected by the shoulder and bicep injuries that kept him out of the lineup for nearly three months.

Stanton is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Rays, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton will head to the bench for Wednesday's series finale as the Yankees look to ease him back into action following a lengthy stay on the injured list. Brett Gardner is starting in left field in place of Stanton, who went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in his first game back Tuesday.

Stanton (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list as expected Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton had been out since the end of March with a string of injuries. He's ready to go now after going 6-for-21 with five homers over six rehab games. He'll have to play the outfield more than before after Edwin Encarnacion was acquired to fill the designated hitter spot, but regardless of where he plays, he'll occupy a key spot in a strong lineup.

The Yankees intend to activate Stanton (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
One of the higher-profile players on the Yankees' roster who has spent extended time on the IL this season, Stanton finally looks to have moved past the biceps, calf and shoulder injuries that have kept him on the shelf since April 1. Stanton has put his huge power on display during his current minor-league rehab assignment, homering four times in four games between High-A Tampa and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Assuming he experiences no recurrence of the shoulder issue coming out of Sunday's appearance with the Triple-A club, Stanton should immediately reclaim an everyday role in left field. Stanton's arrival will likely leave Brett Gardner and Clint Frazier to vie for one spot in the Yankees' regular outfield.

Stanton (shoulder) moved his rehab assignment up to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday as expected.
EDGE Analysis
The slugger is nearly ready to return from the injuries which shut him down just three games into the season. He certainly looked no worse for wear in three games with High-A Tampa, going 5-for-10 with four homers. Stanton could be back in New York as soon as Tuesday.

Manager Aaron Boone said Stanton (shoulder) could be activated as soon as Tuesday, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has already appeared in a pair of rehab games with High-A Tampa, going 4-for-7 with three homers. Per Lindsey Adler of The Athletic, the slugger is scheduled to shift his rehab to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this weekend, and if everything goes well during a pair of games with the RailRiders, Stanton could be cleared to rejoin the Yankees on Tuesday after receiving an off day Monday.

Stanton (shoulder) will play for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this weekend and could return for the Yankees' next homestand starting June 17, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton is currently on rehab duty with High-A Tampa, and manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday the slugger will join the RailRiders this weekend and could return to the big club as soon as June 17, when the Yankees open up a 10-game homestand with a divisional matchup against the Rays. Stanton went 2-for-4 with an opposite-field homer for Tampa on Tuesday, so hopefully that's a sign he's finally back to full health from the shoulder and calf injuries that have kept him on the shelf for most of the season.

Stanton (shoulder) is scheduled to make rehab appearances with High-A Tampa on Tuesday and Wednesday before joining Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton hasn't played a live game since tweaking his calf while making a rehab appearance for his shoulder injury, but manager Aaron Boone said Monday that the slugger will slot in for a pair of games this week for Tampa. Assuming he comes through those appearances with no setbacks, the plan is for Stanton to join the RailRaiders after a Thursday off-day. It's been a long absence for the veteran, so he could require a few games in Triple-A before returning to the big club.
