Overview

  • Stanton has gone 3-for-11 with four RBIs in three rehab games at Double-A Somerset, batting .273 while testing his elbow under game conditions.
  • He is scheduled to play a fourth minor-league outing Saturday at TD Bank Ballpark in Bridgewater, N.J., before any big-league activation.
  • Boone said a return during Sunday’s 1:35 p.m. ET series finale at Fenway Park is unlikely given the tight turnaround.
  • The slugger retains final say on his comeback as he continues to manage lingering elbow tendinitis and pain tolerance.
  • Once activated, Stanton’s arrival will force daily lineup adjustments, potentially reducing roles for Ben Rice, Cody Bellinger, Jasson Domínguez and others.
