Overview

• Giancarlo Stanton made his 2025 season debut on June 16, going 2-for-4 with a double against the Angels at Yankee Stadium.
• The Yankees lost 1-0 in 11 innings to the Angels, marking their fourth straight defeat despite Stanton’s return.
• New York has scored just five runs over its last five games and is 4-for-36 with runners in scoring position during the skid.
• Manager Aaron Boone must juggle a crowded lineup now featuring Stanton, potentially reducing playing time for Ben Rice, Paul Goldschmidt, Jasson Dominguez and Cody Bellinger.
• Despite the slump, New York remains atop the AL East but sees its lead narrowed to two and a half games over the Tampa Bay Rays.
