Overview

• Manager Aaron Boone said he expects Stanton to rejoin the Yankees during their upcoming series against the Los Angeles Angels, potentially as soon as Monday or Tuesday.
• Stanton has logged 11 at-bats over three rehab games with Double-A Somerset, going 3-for-11 with one double and four RBIs while demonstrating improved timing against live pitching.
• Boone emphasized that the slugger will make the final call on his readiness after checking all the training-staff boxes in running progression and swing work.
• An anonymous American League scout cautioned that Stanton needs additional at-bats to fully shake off rust before facing major-league pitching.
• Stanton’s return will prompt a reshuffle of the Yankees’ DH rotation and bench roles as New York accommodates its crowded lineup.
