New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Fantasy managers don't need to be concerned as this appears to be a routine day off for the veteran slugger. Marwin Gonzalez will draw the start in right field and bat eighth versus right-hander Jordan Lyles. There isn't much streaming appeal here with Gonzalez. Fantasy managers should expect Stanton to return after this game.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton launched a pair of two-run homers on Thursday to help pace his offense to a 15-7 win over the White Sox. He victimized Dylan Cease in his first two at-bats of the ball game to bring his total to nine on the season as he finished the game going 3-for-4 with six RBI and three runs scored. Stanton has now homered in three of his past four games while going 6-for-16 in that span to up his BA to .277 and his RBI total to 28 to sit second in the AL. As long as he can stay on the field, the 32-year-old always has a chance to put up mouth-watering power numbers by season's end.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays. Aaron Judge, who hit a walk-off home run to beat Toronto on Tuesday, will serve as the designated hitter and bat second against Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios. Utility man Marwin Gonzalez will start in right field and hit eighth in the lineup. Along with the rest of the Yankees, Stanton is having a solid start to his season, hitting .259/.291/.463 with seven home runs, 22 RBI and nine runs scored in his first 28 games played. Judge has been even better, making an early case for MVP by hitting .290/.356/.626 with a .982 OPS, a league-leading 10 home runs, 22 RBI, 21 runs scored and two stolen bases.

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-4 with a single and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays. The sixth-inning, opposite-field shot just cleared the right-field wall for Stanton's seventh HR of the season. The veteran hasn't provided quite as much power as fantasy managers were hoping for to this point, slashing .259/.291/.463 with 22 RBI in his first 117 plate appearances. That being said, he hasn't done poorly and benefits from hitting in a strong lineup. Fantasy managers should continue to keep him in their lineups with the hopes that his power swing will fully come around sooner rather than later.

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk, and two strikeouts in Tuesday's 9-1 win over the Blue Jays. Stanton put a finishing touch on the game by crushing a ninth-inning breaking ball into the center-field seats. The 32-year-old has gotten off to a decent start to the season, slashing .256/.289/.433 with five HR and 16 RBI over 97 plate appearances. The power hasn't quite been there yet for Stanton, but he is still hitting the ball harder than almost all hitters, so fantasy managers should be patient.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton helped the team complete a three-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles to start the week. He went 5-for-11 at the plate in the series, compiling one home run, one walk and five RBI. The 32-year-old slugger is now slashing .243/.257/.386 with three home runs, 13 RBI and four runs over 18 games on the year. His 96.7 mph average exit velocity and 118.8 mph max exit velocity both lead the majors and he has a 99th percentile barrel rate (23.4%). Despite those gaudy power metrics, his HR/FB rate is currently sitting at 20%, down from his career 26.6% clip. That suggests that Stanton has had some bad home run luck so far and that we are likely to see an uptick in bombs from him in the coming weeks.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is absent from the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Jose Berrios and the Toronto Blue Jays. Josh Donaldson is slotting in as designated hitter for the game while Aaron Judge is covering right field. Yankees manager Aaron Boone has been working in rest days for all of the Yankees' regulars.

He'll be back in the lineup for the series finale against the Jays on Thursday.

The veteran slugger possesses huge power upside in his bat, although he appeared in just 41 total games combined from 2019 to 2020.
