Yankees Activate Giancarlo Stanton

By Steve Adams | September 18, 2019 at 2:40pm CDT

Giancarlo Stanton has officially been activated from the 60-day injured list, the Yankees announced Wednesday. In order to open a spot on the 40-man roster, the Yankees placed Dellin Betances on the 60-day IL. Betances suffered a partial tear of his Achilles tendon in his first appearance of the 2019 season.

Stanton’s return to the lineup — he’s batting fifth and playing left field tonight — is a more-than-welcome sight for the injury-plagued Yankees. However, Stanton won’t play a full game tonight and will seemingly be eased back into the mix. Manager Aaron Boone told reporters that the slugger will play only four to five innings to get some at-bats under his belt (Twitter link via Bryan Hoch of MLB.com). Stanton could play a full game as a DH on Thursday, though.

While Stanton’s first year in the Bronx didn’t quite live up to the MVP standard he set in 2017, he nevertheless proved to be a force in the middle of a potent Yankees lineup. In 705 plate appearances (158 games) last season, Stanton hit .266/.343/.509 with 38 home runs, 34 doubles and a triple. He’s been limited to just nine games in 2019 thanks to a biceps strain and a knee strain, but he’ll now have a couple of weeks to ramp back up to game speed as the Yankees prepare for the American League Division Series. New York has lost Mike Tauchman for the season and isn’t likely to get Aaron Hicks back, either, so Stanton will be in line for regular work in left field with Brett Gardner lining up in center and Aaron Judge manning right field.

          I get that he’s been hurt all year but the guy did play 158 games last year. He’s not a glass cannon

        1.5 max. If they put him in the OF, he’s going back on the I.L. immediately

      As a Yanks fan I’m so sick and tired with people and how they feel towards Stanton. I doubt Stanton is any kind of dog that doesn’t want to play. He hit 30 homers last year and that was a BAD year. Makes no sense and anyone who says the Yanks are better off without him are idiots. Yes, he has his flaws but this is also a guy that was the NL MVP two years ago and hit over 50. With Tauchman and Hicks out and who knows when EE will return we should be happy to have a hopefully healthy Stanton in the lineup.

          You just did above?

          I guess your condition prevented you from looking up.

          Why don’t you go to Flushing next week and enjoy your favorite team. Take your goofy personality with you.
