Yankees Return Giancarlo Stanton From Injured List
The New York Yankees reinstated outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list on Thursday. The Yankees also reinstated right-hander Tommy Kahnle (biceps) from the 60-day injured list and moved left-hander Carlos Rodon (back) to the 60-day IL. Stanton is expected to return as the DH for the first game of a three-game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the road on Friday for the first time in seven weeks due to a left-hamstring strain. The 33-year-old slugger only played one minor-league rehab game, so fantasy managers may want to expect a little rust from Stanton upon his return. However, when he's on, he has the ability to carry fantasy teams with his elite power stroke.

New York Yankees Giancarlo StantonGiancarlo Stanton, Josh Donaldson To Rejoin Team Friday
New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) and third baseman Josh Donaldson (hamstring) will both fly to Los Angeles to join the team on Friday for the start of their three-game series against the Dodgers. Both players, as well as reliever Tommy Kahnle (biceps) are expected to be activated from the injured list. Stanton has been out almost seven weeks but will return as the DH after playing in just one minor-league rehab games, so fantasy managers may want to expect some rust. Eventually, the 33-year-old slugger will be mixed back into the outfield. When healthy, Stanton remains an elite source of power. The 37-year-old Donaldson has been out since early April and was looking washed up at the plate when he hit the IL, but he's expected to see regular playing time at the hot corner.

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) began a minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset Tuesday, going 0-for-3 with a walk.

Stanton was off to a decent start to the season before landing on the injured list, slashing .269/.296/.558 with four home runs and 11 RBI in 54 plate appearances. He has remained a solid source of power throughout his career when healthy, so fantasy managers will be pleased to see him return.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) could begin his minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday, and he isn't being ruled out yet for the series next weekend on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to manager Aaron Boone. Stanton has been out since mid-April with a hamstring strain, but he took on-field batting practice on Friday and is nearing his return. Barring a setback on his rehab assignment early next week, fantasy managers should have the 33-year-old slugger back by next weekend. Before his injury in April, Stanton had gone 14-for-52 (.269) with four home runs and 11 RBI in only 13 games played.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) took on-field batting practice off a machine on Friday at Yankee Stadium. Stanton isn't quite ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend, but he's expected to go on one early next week. If all goes well next week in live game action, the 33-year-old All-Star slugger could come off the injured list to rejoin the starting lineup for a big three-game series next weekend on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Stanton never can seem to stay healthy for long stretches, but when he's healthy, he provides fantasy managers with elite power in a strong lineup. Before his injury, he had hit four home runs and driven in 11 runs in 13 games played.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) won't begin his rehab assignment this weekend, but it's still possible it could start early next week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Originally, the 33-year-old was supposed to be ready by the weekend, but there might have been something in Thursday's tests that the club didn't like. Fantasy managers should be excited to get Stanton back, as before the injury, he was slashing .269/.296/.558 with four bombs, seven runs, and 11 RBI over 13 games and owns a career .890 OPS. Expect the slugger to return sometime at the beginning of June.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) will have tests done on Thursday, and he could begin a minor-league rehab assignment this weekend. Manager Aaron Boone expects Stanton to play some outfield on his rehab assignment. Whenever the 33-year-old right-handed slugger returns, he'll play some outfield while also continuing DH duties for the Yanks. The oft-injured outfielder hasn't played since mid-April due to a strained left hamstring, but there's a chance he'll be reinstated from the injured list at some point next week. While injury-prone, Stanton offers elite power in a strong lineup. He was hitting .269 (14-for-52) with three doubles, four home runs and 11 RBI through 13 games at the time of his injury.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) did some defensive work on Friday, and Boone plans on using Stanton in the outfield upon his return from the injured list. Stanton hasn't played since suffering a Grade 2 left hamstring strain on April 15, and he's slowly making his way back to the Yankees' lineup. The 33-year-old is hoping to return in late May or early June, barring any setbacks. Fantasy managers must continue to be patient with the oft-injured slugger and continue to stash him in an injured-list spot. Stanton offers elite power when he's healthy, but he continues to miss valuable time. Before the injury, he was hitting .269 (14-for-52) with three doubles, four homers, 11 RBI and seven runs scored in 13 games.
