Giancarlo Stanton Sitting Out On Saturday
4 months agoNew York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is getting a day off on Saturday against the Colorado Rockies at Yankee Stadium. Aaron Judge will move into the DH role and will bat third, while Trent Grisham will start in center field and bat ninth against Rockies right-hander Bradley Blalock. It appears to be just a normal day off for Stanton, who has gone deep in back-to-back games. The 34-year-old right-handed slugger now has 22 home runs on the year and 56 RBI in 324 at-bats. He has four home runs in the month of August in 15 games with 11 RBI, but he's also hitting just .218 (12-for-55) with six walks and 15 strikeouts. The five-time All-Star continues to give fantasy managers high-end power but not much else. Grisham represents a low-upside deep-sleeper option in DFS at the bottom of the order. He's hitting just .190 (30-for-158) on the year with a .674 OPS.
