Stanton isn't in the Yankees' lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton will get a breather to open up Saturday's festivities, though he will most likely be part of New York's starting nine during the nightcap. Aaron Judge will take his place at designated hitter during the early game, allowing Trent Grisham to start in center field and bat ninth.

Stanton is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees likely aren't keen on having superstar Aaron Judge play two full games in the outfield Wednesday, so he'll serve as the designated hitter in the early contest, which leaves no room in the lineup for Stanton. Look for Stanton to serve as the DH in the nightcap while Judge returns to a spot in the outfield.

Stanton isn't in the Yankees' lineup Saturday against Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton will get a day to rest Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a double during Friday's loss. His absence will move Aaron Judge into the DH role while Trent Grisham starts in center field.

Stanton is starting at DH and batting fourth Wednesday versus Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton was activated off the injured list Monday and started at DH before beginning Tuesday's game on the bench. The slugger is back starting Wednesday, and he's in a prime position in the order, batting cleanup between Aaron Judge and the newly acquired Jazz Chisholm, who's hit four homers in his past two games. That could give Stanton ample run-producing and run-scoring opportunities, though he's gone hitless in five at-bats since his return.

The Yankees activated Stanton (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton will skip a rehab assignment and go right back onto the active roster after missing the past month with a strained left hamstring. While Stanton should soak up most of the starts at designated hitter, the Yankees could also use Aaron Judge at that spot on some days while the newly acquired Jazz Chisholm plays the outfield.

Stanton (hamstring) remains on track to be activated from the 10-day injured list Monday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has missed a month of action while recovering from a left hamstring strain, but he appears to be set to make his return to the major-league roster Monday in Philadelphia. The 34-year-old will skip a rehab assignment, and he'll attempt to pick up where he left off with the Yankees, having produced a 10-game hitting streak prior to going down with the injury.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Stanton (hamstring) is aiming to return for Monday's series opener against the Phillies, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has been on the injured list since June 23 due to a left hamstring strain. He wasn't assigned to any minor-league games as part of his rehab program, and the 34-year-old slugger appears poised to join the Yankees following the weekend series against the Red Sox. Stanton was slashing .304/.377/.551 with five home runs, 16 RBI and a .927 OPS in June before going on the IL.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday he's not expecting Stanton (hamstring) to return to action for the team's series versus Boston this weekend, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton continued to do work on the field Wednesday, and Boone said he thinks the slugger is "towards the end of" his rehab. However, while the manager didn't rule out Stanton being activated at some point this weekend to face the Red Sox, he also indicated that such a scenario is not an expectation. It doesn't appear that Stanton has experienced a setback, so he seems likely to return to action next week if he remains out for the Boston series.

The Yankees will likely decide on a return date for Stanton (hamstring) by the end of next week, per MLB.com.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton ran the bases on the field Friday in his most recent step toward recovering from a strained left hamstring. Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that the slugger "is in a pretty good spot" in terms of his progress and indicated that a return is a matter of building stamina. There hasn't been a decision made yet about whether Stanton will go on a rehab assignment -- if he foregoes that route, he could be back in the Yankees' lineup at some point during their series in Boston that begins Friday.

Stanton (hamstring) ran the bases at Yankee Stadium before Friday's game, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It would appear to be the first time he has run the bases since going down with a left hamstring strain nearly a month ago. Stanton did not look to be running at 100 percent, but it's nonetheless a big step and signifies that a return to game action could be close. The Yankees have not yet indicated whether Stanton will require a rehab assignment before being activated.
