Stanton went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and a pair of runs in Saturday's victory over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The homer, Stanton's 29th of the year, opened the scoring in the first inning off Drew Hutchison. He also singled and scored in the seventh. Stanton is very unlikely to get anywhere close to the 59 homers he hit last season, but he only needs nine more the rest of the way to post the second-highest total of his career. A second straight season with at least 40 home runs is very much within reach.

Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Stanton's hamstring tightness has not subsided since he began feeling it a week ago, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This issue has forced Boone to play Stanton primarily in the DH spot, which is where he's spent five of the past seven games. Unsurprisingly, he's listed as the Yankees designated hitter for Saturday's game against Texas as well. Though he's clearly fighting off the discomfort, it hasn't impacted Stanton's play, as he's gone 8-for-29 (.276 average) with three home runs and eight RBI over those past seven games.

Stanton went 1-for-4 with a grand slam, a walk and a strikeout in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton broke open the game with his sixth career grand slam, turning a tie game into a 6-2 Yankees lead in the eventual four-run win. The reigning NL MVP has gone deep in consecutive contests to give him 27 homers on the year, and he ranks fifth in the American League with 73 RBI.

Stanton went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's extra-innings win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton's two-run homer -- his 26th of the year -- came in the 10th inning off Tyler Danish in a tie game. This was Stanton's fourth multi-hit game in his last six contests, and his slash line now sits at .279/.343/.513 on the year. Stanton has the third-most strikeouts (147) in the majors, but he nonetheless ranks within the top 10 in home runs, runs (70) and RBI (69) among MLB outfielders.

Stanton has been limited to designated-hitter duties for the Yankees' last three games due to a tight left hamstring, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton was spotted with ice wrapped around the hamstring after contests Friday, Saturday and Sunday, suggesting that the leg issue might still limit his mobility heading into Monday's series opener against the White Sox. Fortunately for the Yankees, having the DH spot available has allowed the team to keep Stanton's powerful bat in the lineup while he works through the discomfort. The injury hasn't seemed to provide any complications at the plate, with Stanton going 4-for-12 with a pair of doubles over the past three games.

Stanton went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Game 1 of Saturday's twin bill against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton cut the deficit to four in the fifth inning, but the Royals would ultimately roll to a 10-5 victory. The 28-year-old has gone 6-for-18 with a double, a home run and six RBI over his previous five games. Stanton is slashing .280/.347/.515 through 102 games during his first season in the Bronx.

Stanton will man right field and bat second against Kansas City on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton will move up in the order after Aaron Judge (wrist) was placed on the 10-day DL prior to Friday's contest. Judge had been a fixture in the two-hole all year, starting 97 of 101 games for the Yankees in that spot of the order. This likely won't impact Stanton too heavily as the 28-year-old has been occupying the cleanup position recently, but this should give him a couple extra at-bats over the next few weeks.

Stanton went 2-for-4 with a stolen base Sunday in the Yankees' 5-2 loss to the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton's strikeout percentage (31.2%) and walk percentage (8.6%) are his worst marks since his rookie season in 2010, but the downturn in plate discipline hasn't had many negative consequences for his fantasy output. Thanks to a career-high .360 BABIP fueled by a magnificent 42.4 percent hard-hit rate, Stanton has maintained a .278 batting average to go with his typical top-shelf power production (23 home runs). The 28-year-old has been running especially hot in July, slashing .349/.388/.587 through 15 games on the month.

Stanton went 4-for-5 with a walk, two RBI, a run scored and a strikeout in Wednesday's win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

All four hits were singles, but he also added a free pass to reach base five times in all. Stanton seems to have fully recovered from his slow start to the season, hitting .298 with eight homers in June and now .362 with three long balls thus far in July. On the year, the reigning NL-MVP is slashing .276/.348/.518 to go along with 22 homers and 54 RBI.

Stanton went 5-for-5 with a home run, two runs, two RBI and a walk in Sunday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

This huge day at the plate upped his average from .249 to .262 on the season. Stanton has seven home runs but just 13 RBI in 81 at-bats this month.
