Player Outlook
Yes, it would be outstanding if we could see the version of Giancarlo Stanton that surfaced in the 2024 postseason for longer stretches of the regular season. Stanton hit seven homers and drove in 16 runs in October, reminding us of how good he was as recently as 2021. Twenty twenty-four was not 2021, but it was certainly an improvement from his previous two seasons, as he hit more homers than he did in 2023 while raising his batting average 42 points from that season as well. Stanton still cannot stay on the active roster enough to play even 120 games in a season, as he has failed to reach that total in each of the past three seasons. He is also a human statue, both in stature and in running speed. Somehow, he is in the third percentile in sprint speed, meaning there are a handful of players who move slower than him. It is why Stanton is the only player in history to twice hit at least 25 homers in a season while scoring fewer than 50 runs in that season. The Stanton experience is simple: You roster him because you need homers. He will drive in runs, miss 40 games and hurt your average in the process. His utility-only penalty helps keep his power at a decent price, but expecting any more than what he did in 2024 is getting greedy.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Now working through calf issue

    Rotowire
    Manager Aaron Boone told reporters Friday that Stanton is working through a calf injury in addition to tennis elbow in both arms, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports. Stanton has returned to Yankees' spring training camp after traveling to New York on Monday to receive a third round of platelet-rich plasma injections in his elbows. His most recent calf injury was called "fairly minor" by Boone, but it's yet another issue that Stanton will need to rehab through. The tennis elbows are the more pressing and severe issue, and it's possible that Stanton undergoes surgery and miss the entire 2025 season.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Injuries deemed severe

    Rotowire
    Stanton said Saturday that his injuries are "considered severe in both elbows," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Stanton went on to cite bat adjustments from last season as the cause for his tennis elbow, and there is no telling how far he is from resuming baseball activities -- let alone playing in games. The veteran slugger also brought up the possibility of undergoing surgery to address the issue, which would force him to miss the entire 2025 campaign.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Getting more PRP injections

    Rotowire
    Stanton will return to New York on Monday to receive a third round of platelet-rich plasma injections in his elbows, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Stanton has been dealing with tennis elbow in both arms, and the PRP injections are an effort to aid in the recovery process while avoiding surgery. Stanton will begin the regular season on the injured list, and how long he stays on the IL will depend on the progress in his recovery. He finished the 2024 regular season with a slash line of .233/.298/.475 with 27 home runs and 72 RBI across 459 plate appearances.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Not expected to play this spring

    Rotowire
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Stanton (elbows) has returned to camp but is unlikely to play in any games this spring, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports. Stanton was given a second round of PRP injections to combat tennis elbow in both arms, which he and the club hope will allow him to avoid surgery. However, Stanton will still not be able to do much in terms of baseball activities, and it's probably going to be a long time before he's ready to play in games. His timetable to return is open-ended.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Second round of PRP injections

    Rotowire
    Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Thursday that Stanton will rejoin the club in Florida this weekend after he receives a second round of platelet-rich plasma injections in his elbows, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Cashman added that Stanton -- who is dealing with tennis elbow in both arms -- will still not be able to do much when it comes to baseball activities, but the hope is that the PRP injections help hasten the recovery process and allow him to avoid surgery, which is seen as a "last resort." Stanton has already been ruled out for Opening Day, and his timetable to return is currently open-ended.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Starting season on IL

    Rotowire
    Stanton (elbows) will begin the season on the injured list, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports. Stanton has been away from the team tending to a personal matter in New York since Monday. However, he's been continuing his rehab while away, receiving platelet-rich plasma injections in both of his elbows to help treat his tendinitis. He's expected to rejoin the team within the next week, but there is currently no timetable for his return.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Status still undetermined

    Rotowire
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that he's not sure when Stanton (elbows) will return to camp, but the skipper is hopeful it will happen "soon," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Stanton is dealing with tennis elbow in both arms and returned to New York earlier this week, although that trip was "personal in nature," per Boone. The manager indicated Monday that he hopes Stanton can return healthy "in the middle of the season," so it doesn't appear the Yankees expect to have their designated hitter playing in games anytime soon.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: No movement on baseball activities

    Rotowire
    Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday said Stanton (elbows) won't resume baseball activities in the immediate future, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports. The veteran slugger hasn't swung a bat in weeks while dealing with tennis elbow in both arms, which is an injury he also played through last season. Stanton indicated that he's been experiencing a significant amount of pain, and it's unclear if he'll be ready to go by Opening Day.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: No timeline for baseball activities

    Rotowire
    Manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that there's no timetable for when Stanton (elbows) will resume baseball activities, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports. Stanton is dealing with tennis elbow in both arms and has not swung a bat in several weeks. He battled the same issue with both elbows last season, as well, but the discomfort has reached a point to where he and the team decided shutting things down for a while was necessary. Stanton's availability for Opening Day is in question.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Still not swinging bat

    Rotowire
    Stanton disclosed Monday that he hasn't swung a bat in 3-to-4 weeks and is dealing with a "very high" level of pain in both elbows, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Stanton is dealing with tennis elbow in both arms, which is something he battled for much of last season, as well. The veteran designated hitter admitted that he's not sure that he will be ready in time for Opening Day. If Stanton requires a stint on the injured list, the Yankees could mix and match with some of their regular position players in the DH spot.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Managing elbow issues

    Rotowire
    Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Stanton will be moved along slowly early in spring training due to discomfort in both elbows, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. The skipper compared the issues to tennis elbow, which Stanton also played through down the stretch last season. The veteran slugger still has nearly six weeks before Opening Day, but it could be an ominous early development for a player that has seen action in fewer than 120 regular-season games in each of the past three seasons.

    Rotowire

    Rotowire

Stanton is up to 26 home runs and 67 RBI on the season with a .234/.297/.476 slash line over 435 plate appearances.

    Rotowire

    Rotowire
    Stanton isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox. Stanton will get a breather Saturday after tallying a base hit in both of the first two games of the series.

  • Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Heads to bench as Dominguez returns

    Rotowire
    Stanton is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Royals, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. Aaron Judge will occupy the designated-hitter spot Monday while Jasson Dominguez picks up a start in the outfield after being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Stanton is in the midst of a 1-for-19 slide at the plate and could see his playing time dip upon Dominguez's arrival, though manager Aaron Boone told Laura Albanese of Newsday that Stanton will serve as the Yankees' DH more often that not. With that in mind, Alex Verdugo -- who will start in left field Monday -- could find himself as the odd man out of the lineup more frequently than Stanton.

    Rotowire
