Scouting Report: Giancarlo Stanton
New York Yankees | DH
Overall
Summary
Giancarlo Stanton has been on the 10-day injured list since late April 2026 with a right calf strain sustained while jogging between bases. As of mid-May, he has not yet resumed running and remains in a holding pattern. MRI imaging shows the strain is lingering despite feeling better subjectively. He has been hitting daily and doing plyometric work but no running progression. Manager Aaron Boone indicated no clear timeline for return, with best case scenario being mid-May at earliest. Stanton has a history of soft-tissue leg injuries, prompting cautious approach. In 24 games played, he is hitting .256/.302/.422 with 3 HR and 14 RBI.
