New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's win over the Indians. Stanton clubbed one of five Yankee homers, sending a ball 407 feet into the outfield seats at 106 MPH. The veteran slugger has come back down to earth after an otherworldly August but has still posted solid numbers in September, as he owns a .853 OPS with four homers and eight RBI 57 at-bats. Stanton has been a steady, four-category producer for fantasy managers this year, as well as a great value at his ADP.

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is heating up again after a slump to start September. Stanton currently owns a five-game hitting streak, during which he's batting .381 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and one run scored. The slugger will take on right-hander John Gant, who has been a much better pitcher since joining the Twins at the trade deadline. Still, Gant allows a fair amount of contact and isn't a pitcher to fear at the moment. Redraft and DFS managers can fire up Stanton with confidence for Monday's matinee.

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton isn't in the lineup on Friday for a road matchup against the New York Mets and right-hander Tylor Megill. With the Yankees in a National League ballpark, Stanton will head to the bench for this game. The 31-year-old is batting .268 with a .358 on-base percentage and 26 home runs in 492 plate appearances this season. Stanton has appeared in 113 games this season, and 96 of those games have come as New York's designated hitter. Thankfully for fantasy managers, this is the Yankees' last interleague series of the season.

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's victory over the Orioles. Stanton's fingerprints were all over this Yankee win, as he homered in the fourth inning, then won the game in the 11th inning with an RBI single. His homer traveled 424 feet at 105.7 MPH, though his hardest-hit ball of the day came on the game-winning base hit, which left his bat at an incredible 121.1 MPH. Stanton has been excellent for fantasy managers this year, as evidenced by his .273/.365/.502 slash line with 26 homers, 73 RBI, and 53 runs scored.

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an RBI single in Monday's loss to the Angels. Stanton's homer was a tape-measure shot, one that traveled 457 feet at a whopping 115.2 MPH. It's his ninth homer of August and the fifth time he's left the years in the last seven contests, as he is one of the hottest hitters on the planet at the moment. The slugger matches up well with Tuesday's projected Angels starter, Jaime Barria, who has pitched to a 5.56 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 34 innings pitched this season.

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton homered for a third consecutive game in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Athletics. Stanton sent a ball into orbit, depositing a 3-2 fastball 436 feet into the center-field seats at an incredible 116.2 MPH. The former Marlin is riding a four-game hitting streak, during which he's went yard three times and doubled twice while driving in seven runs. Stanton has been excellent in August, posting an 18.4 percent barrel rate, .633 slugging percentage, and 184 wRC+ during the month. He has the ability to carry a fantasy squad when he gets scorching hot like this.

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton belted a home run for the second straight game in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Braves. Stanton put New York on the board with a solo shot, his second homer in as many games. The slugger is red hot, having gone 8-for-23 with four homers, two doubles, and eight RBI over his last seven games played. Stanton is as hot as any hitter in the league right now and makes for a prime DFS play hitting in the heart of a resurgent Yankee offense.

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, and three RBI in Monday's 5-1 win over the Braves. Stanton supplied much of the Yankee offense against Atlanta, swatting a solo shot to put the team on the board in the first inning, then later muscling a 119.2 MPH, two-run double off of Braves starter Huascar Ynoa to break a 1-1 tie. After a quiet July, Stanton has come alive in August, totaling five homers, 18 RBI, and 14 runs scored with an OPS north of .950. Hitting in the middle of a suddenly-potent Yankee lineup, Stanton seems to be peaking at the right time for fantasy managers.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton hit his 20th homer of the season Thursday. He went 1-for-4 against the Minnesota Twins while batting fifth and playing right field. Stanton now has a nine-game hit streak with a single hit in each of those contests. He's been very strong this season, with an .825 OPS, 45 runs, and 59 RBI in 365 at-bats. As long as he stays healthy, he should provide excellent fantasy production in a potent Yankee lineup.

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-3 with a solo homer during a 2-0 win over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Stanton connected off of Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi for his 19th HR during the fourth inning. The 31-year-old is hitting .308 during August but is lacking in the power department with only two homers and 11 RBI in 52 at-bats. Stanton patrolled right field during the second game of a doubleheader, giving him eight appearances in the outfield this season. The roster crunch for the Yankees might force the 2017 National League MVP into more playing time in the outfield as opposed to being strictly a DH, potentially giving fantasy managers a little more flexibility with the slugger as he earns OF eligibility.

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-5 with a homer and two RBI during a 9-8 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. The four-time All-Star returned to the lineup after a rest day on Wednesday and slugged a two-run, go-ahead homer off of White Sox relief pitcher Liam Hendriks in the ninth inning. The 32-year-old now has 18 HR, 56 RBI, and 42 runs with a .259/.359/.452 line through 343 at-bats. Stanton is also boasting a career-best 56.1% hard-hit rate and is capable of becoming one of the most feared hitters in baseball when locked in.

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton isn't starting in Wednesday's contest against the Kansas City Royals. He will get the day off after hitting .314 (11-for-35) with one homer and eight RBI, including a stretch with five straight multi-hit efforts over his last 10 games. Stanton will be available off the bench, and his next chance to return will be Thursday against the White Sox. Aaron Judge is batting third and is the designated hitter on Wednesday. Fantasy managers can roll with Judge as they have been all season.

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in Friday's victory over the Mariners. Stanton came up with a key hit for New York in the bottom of the 10th inning, tying the game with an RBI on a base hit. The slugger is on another hot streak, as he is 8-for-16 with a home run, eight RBI, and five runs scored over his last four games. Stanton has the ability to carry a fantasy squad through a week or a matchup, something he looks poised to do after extending his multi-hit game streak to four contests.

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton had another productive night at the plate in a blowout win over the Orioles Wednesday. After driving in four runs Tuesday, Stanton followed up the effort with a three-RBI night, clearing a bases-loaded situation with a double that dropped in between Orioles' fielders. The slugger endured a rough July that saw his slugging percentage plummet to .333, along with 31 strikeouts compared to 12 walks, though his fiery start to August suggests that a hot streak could be on the way. Stanton will gear up for a series with the Mariners. He owns three extra-base hits and three RBI in 12 at-bats against Seattle pitching this season.

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-5 with a homer, two runs, and four RBI during a 13-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. Stanton, who hasn't homered since July 20, took Orioles relief pitcher Adam Plutko deep for a three-run shot during the fourth inning. The four-time All-Star now has 17 homers, 50 RBI, 37 runs, and a .253/.352/.452 line over 359 at-bats. Stanton is as streaky as they come, and perhaps the Orioles are just what the 31-year-old needed to enter a hot streak.

New York Yankees designated hitter/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins. Stanton has started each of the last two games for the Yankees in left field, going 1-for-5 with a double, as the Yankees pulled him early from each contest. The club is determined to limit the outfield reps of the oft-injured slugger, though it's still a good sign to see him making starts in the field. New York will shift Joey Gallo to left field, with Brett Gardner getting the start in center. Gallo has yet to collect his first hit as a Yankee, though his home upside is as good as any player in the league, making him worth a look in DFS formats.

MIAMI (AP) — With a pair of new sluggers in place, the New York Yankees are ready to make their playoff drive. First baseman Anthony Rizzo homered in his Yankees debut Friday night and All-Star outfielder Joey Gallo also suited up with New York for the first time in the opener of a three-game series against the Miami Marlins. New York obtained Gallo and left-handed reliever Joely Rodríguez from the Texas Rangers for four minor league prospects Thursday. Rizzo’s nine-year tenure with the Chicago Cubs ended after he was sent to the Yankees for two prospects. Entering the weekend series at Miami, the Yankees were 8 1/2 games behind AL East leader Boston and 3 1/2 behind Oakland for the league's second wild card. “I’ve been hearing for some time that it was a possibility, that New York was in play for me,” Gallo said. “I grew up a huge Yankee fan. My family is from New York. It was pretty surreal they told me I was going to the Yankees. A great opportunity — it’s an amazing team to be a part... [More]

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Patrick Sandoval had his no-hit bid broken up with one out in the ninth inning on a soft double by rookie Brent Rooker and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Minnesota Twins 2-1 on Saturday night. Sandoval, a 24-year-old lefty who began the game with a 3-13 career record, struck out a career-high 13. There have already been seven no-hitters in the majors this season. The big league record of eight was set in 1884, the first year overhand pitching was permitted. The Twins hadn’t come close to a hit until Rooker, who fanned his first three times up, flared an opposite-field fly that fell just inside the line in right. Sandoval (3-4) smiled after the ball fell, retired the next batter and then was pulled after 108 pitches. He walked one and hit two. Closer Raisel Iglesias allowed an RBI double to Josh Donaldson before getting his 21st save in 25 chances. José Berríos (7-5) allowed two unearned runs in seven innings in perhaps his final start for Minnesota. ASTROS 4, RANGERS... [More]
