    • Expects to be out four weeks
      Stanton said Sunday that he expects to be out for roughly four weeks as a result of his strained left hamstring, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

      Advice: Stanton landed on the 10-day injured list Sunday and received a platelet-rich plasma injection to aid in his healing process, but it doesn't seem like the slugging outfielder is on track for a speedy recovery. Trent Grisham could be a candidate to start nearly everyday for the Yankees while Stanton is sidelined, especially if the team decides to use Aaron Judge as its primary designated hitter going forward.

    • Stanton diagnosed with mild hamstring strain
      Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone said after Sunday’s game that Giancarlo Stanton was diagnosed with a mild left hamstring strain.

      Advice: The 34-year-old slugger received a PRP injection on Sunday as well and told reporters that he expects to spend around four weeks on the injured list. That leaves a gaping hole in the middle of the lineup that the Yankees will need to fill for the next month or so. In 69 games on the season, Stanton has hit a respectable .246/.302/.492 with 18 homers and 45 RBI. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:05 pm
       
    • Aaron Judge at designated hitter Sunday vs. Braves
      Aaron Judge is at designated hitter for Sunday’s series finale against the Braves.

      Advice: Judge will likely spend additional time at designated hitter moving forward in the wake of Giancarlo Stanton’s unfortunate hamstring injury. The 32-year-old generational talent slugged his major league-leading 28th home run of the season during Saturday night’s win at Yankee Stadium and is in the midst of one of the best extended stretches of his career. It can only be a positive thing for his immediate health for him to get a break from playing center field everyday, at least for a few weeks leading into next month’s All-Star break.

    • Serving as DH sans Stanton
      Judge will serve as the designated hitter and bat third for Sunday's series finale against Atlanta.

      Advice: With Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) placed on the injured list Sunday, Judge will have more turns at DH while Trent Grisham gets reps in the outfield, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. For the month of June, Judge is slashing a blistering .381/.494/.857 with eight home runs and 25 while boasting a 1.351 OPS. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:43 am
       
    • Placed on IL with hamstring strain
      The Yankees placed Stanton on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain.

      Advice: Stanton exited in the fourth inning of Saturday's 8-3 win over Atlanta after injuring his left hamstring while scoring from second base on a Gleyber Torres double. Trent Grisham came off the bench to replace Stanton on Saturday, and the former could be in line for a near-everyday role in the outfield against right-handed pitching while the Yankees perhaps look to give Aaron Judge and others more time at designated hitter sans Stanton. With Stanton on the IL, the Yankees recalled infielder Oswald Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:12 am
       
    • Giancarlo Stanton lands on IL with hamstring strain
      Yankees placed OF Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

      Advice: Stanton is slated to undergo an MRI on Sunday to determine the severity and how much time he’ll likely wind up sidelined. Fantasy managers should anticipate him missing at least a few weeks, even if it’s a low-grade strain. The 34-year-old slugger, who has 18 homers in 69 games this season, suffered the injury during Saturday’s contest against the Braves. The timing is extremely unfortunate for the Yankees, and fantasy managers, as there isn’t a clear replacement for him at the moment with top prospect Jasson Domínguez on the shelf at Triple-A due to an oblique strain.

    • Productive in win
      Judge went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Saturday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

      Advice: Judge generated runs in a variety of ways. His first-inning blast put the Yankees ahead, and he drew a bases-loaded walk in the sixth to tack on an insurance run. Even one of his outs, a groundout into a double play, allowed a run to score in the third. Judge has three homers over his last five contests and is up to 28 long balls this year as he continues to pace the majors. He's added a spectacular .301/.425/.692 slash line with 70 RBI, 59 runs scored and five stolen bases through 77 games, a level of production quite similar to his MVP campaign from 2022.

    • Giancarlo Stanton leaves game with hamstring issue
      Giancarlo Stanton was removed from Saturday night’s battle against the Braves due to tightness in his left hamstring.

      Advice: The 34-year-old slugger is set to undergo an MRI exam on Sunday to determine the severity of the injury. This is the type of situation that fantasy managers had been waiting for when Jasson Dominguez was tearing it up at Triple-A but had nowhere to play, but now that he’s on the injured list at Triple-A it’s unclear what they would do if Stanton was forced to miss substantial time. Trent Grisham replaced him on Saturday night and wound up swatting a solo homer. Rotoworld Saturday, 7:33 pm
       
    • Aaron Judge swats 28th homer as Yankees top Braves
      Aaron Judge swatted his league-leading 28th home run of the season on Saturday night, helping to propel the Yankees to an 8-3 victory over the visiting Braves.

      Advice: Judge opened the scoring in the ballgame in the first inning, crushing a 366-foot (101.5 mph EV) two-run shot off of Charlie Morton. He then strolled to the plate with the bases loaded in the third inning but wound up grounding into a double play. Judge also batted with the bases juiced in the sixth inning, where he worked Aaron Bummer for a walk to pick up another RBI. The 32-year-old superstar is now slashing a monstrous .301/.425/.692 with the aforementioned 28 long balls and 70 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Saturday, 7:27 pm
