Eligibility
Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Yankees' 9-4 victory over the Astros.
Fantasy Impact
His solo shot contributed to the team's robust scoring effort, though his overall batting average remains a modest .228 through 33 games this season. Despite the low average, Stanton's power numbers are holding steady, with eight homers and 20 RBI. His high strikeout rate (.338) and low walk rate (.075) continue to be areas of concern, potentially limiting his value in points leagues that penalize strikeouts. However, his ability to change the game with one swing keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats, especially those that heavily reward power statistics.
Giancarlo Stanton is in the starting lineup for the Yankees Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Stanton will return to the lineup after getting the day off Thursday. He will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth against the Tigers.
Giancarlo Stanton is missing from the lineup for the New York Yankees against the Baltimore Orioles Thursday.
Fantasy Impact

Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in the Yankees' dominant 15-3 victory over the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact
Despite striking out three times, Stanton's contributions were crucial in the offensive explosion, highlighted by his towering home run. His performance this season has been a mixed bag, with a batting average of .241 and a high strikeout rate of .319, but his power numbers remain solid with six homers and 16 RBI through 24 games. Fantasy managers should continue to value Stanton for his home run potential, though his high strikeout rate could be a concern in formats that penalize for strikeouts. His current .340 wOBA indicates he still has the ability to contribute positively to fantasy lineups, especially in categories like home runs and RBI.
