New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton had an interesting second game of Monday’s doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. After striking out in his first plate appearance, he was plunked in the third inning by Tigers pitcher Mike Fiers. Stanton took exception to the act, perhaps harking back to a time when Fiers hit him in the face. He barked something at Fiers, having to be walked to first by Detroit’s catcher. His next time up, Stanton smashed a home run to left field, staring down Fiers and pointing to him as he stepped on home plate. It was his 13th home run of the season, although it would not be enough as the Yankees lost the game.--RDelgado

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that there are no new plans for outfielder/designated Giancarlo Stanton (elbows). Stanton stayed back in New York during the team's road trip to continue ramping up. The 35-year-old veteran power hitter took batting practice last Tuesday for the first time since he had several rounds of platelet-rich plasma injections in both of his elbows. Things continue to go slowly for Stanton while he deals with torn tendons in both of his elbows, and there's still the potential that he won't play at all this season if he has any kind of setback. Until then, though, he needs to be held in most fantasy leagues due to his power potential when healthy. There remains no timeline for his potential return, which means he'll likely be out until at least June. In the meantime, Ben Rice should continue to benefit from regular at-bats in the DH spot.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) took outdoor batting practice on Tuesday for the first time since receiving multiple rounds of platelet-rich plasma injections in his ailing elbows, according to NJ Advance Media's Brendan Kuty. It's progress for the 35-year-old veteran right-handed slugger, but he still has a ways to go and will eventually need to go on a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment before having a chance to make his 2025 season debut in the Bronx. There remains no timetable for a potential return, but fantasy managers that drafted him in the spring must continue to stash him in an injured-list spot until further notice. With Ben Rice swinging the bat well early on for the Yankees as the team's primary DH, it's unclear exactly how playing time will shake out for Stanton if/when he returns to the team.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbow) is still hitting off the Trajekt machine. However, Yankee manager Aaron Boone noted that Stanton is progressing well and is "getting close" to taking live at-bats. Stanton has been sidelined since the start of the campaign due to tennis elbows in both of his arms. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as it appears the slugger is progressing well in his recovery. Last season, the 35-year-old posted a .233/.298/.475 slash line with 27 long balls. Under the hood, he generated a .509 xSLG with a 20.7 percent barrel rate and a 53.5 percent hard-hit rate, which were all well above the average marks. When Stanton eventually returns to action, he could limit Ben Rice's playing time. For now, Stanton is only worth stashing in deeper 12+ team formats.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf, elbows), who is dealing with torn tendons in both of his elbows, has resumed hitting indoors following several rounds of platelet-rich plasma treatments, according to manager Aaron Boone. "It's been a good couple of weeks," Boone said. It's good news and a step in the right direction for the 35-year-old veteran right-handed slugger, but Boone also said this week that Stanton still has a ways to go. The Yankees have yet to give any kind of specific timetable for when Stanton might be able to make his 2025 debut, either, so those that have been stashing the power hitter have to continue to sit tight and hope he continues to make progress with his rehab. The oft-injured slugger can still be a big boost to your team's power numbers, but we have no idea when he'll return for the Yankees. In the meantime, Ben Rice should benefit against right-handers.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
