Giancarlo Stanton Likely Returning Early Next Week
Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) is expected to return to the lineup during the team's series against the Los Angeles Angels, according to manager Aaron Boone. That series starts Monday, but Boone said it's up in the air as to whether he returns in the first game or the second game on Tuesday. Stanton has gone 3-for-11 with a double, a walk, four RBI, and three strikeouts over three rehab games. The 35-year-old hasn't played yet this season due to tennis elbow in both his arms, so he will have a lot of rust to shake off. His playing time could be limited, especially as he eases into the lineup, due to his health issues and the logjam in New York's outfield. Still, Stanton is worthy of a speculative add in anything standard-size or deeper, as his power is undeniable. UPDATE: Boone said he expects Stanton to be in the starting lineup on Monday or Tuesday in the Bronx.
