Giancarlo Stanton has been activated from the 10-day injured list after a month-long absence due to a strained left hamstring, and he is expected to return to the Yankees lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies. Manager Aaron Boone indicated that Stanton will not undergo a rehab assignment, having completed the necessary preparations for his comeback. Stanton has a history of injury issues, having only played 419 games since 2019, and his absence has coincided with the Yankees' recent struggles, as they have dropped several games in the standings. Prior to his injury, Stanton was performing well, batting .246 with 18 home runs and a 119 OPS+ in 69 games this season. His return is anticipated to provide a significant boost to the Yankees' struggling offense, which relies heavily on the production of Aaron Judge. The Yankees are hopeful that Stanton can maintain his performance and stay healthy for the remainder of the season.
