Stanton is starting in right field and batting cleanup in Thursday's game versus the Athletics, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has now made back-to-back starts in right field and has been at the position three times over the last week. Those are his first three starts in the field since April 12, as he had been limited to designated hitter duty following a seven-week absence with a strained hamstring. Gleyber Torres will DH in this one, with DJ LeMahieu handling second base.

Stanton went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 11-0 win over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton's fourth-inning blast gave Domingo German all the run support he needed in his perfect game. Prior to Wednesday, Stanton had gone just 3-for-37 (.081) with no extra-base hits, one RBI and a 3:16 BB:K over his last 10 games. This was his first multi-hit game since returning from a hamstring injury. The slugger is up to seven homers, 17 RBI and 13 runs scored, but he's slashing a meager .197/.260/.410 through 32 contests.

Stanton is starting at designated hitter while hitting fifth Saturday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton had hit fourth or higher in the lineup in all 28 of his games this season entering Saturday. However, he's maintained just a .096 average and .231 slugging percentage across 52 at-bats since returning from a hamstring strain June 1. Harrison Bader was bumped up to third in the order.

Stanton is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Willie Calhoun will take a turn as the Yankees' designated hitter and bat third. Stanton gets a day of physical and mental rest after going 0-for-11 with one walk and seven strikeouts over his last three games.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on the Talkin' Yanks podcast that Stanton will serve as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Boone indicated over the weekend that Stanton could be ready to play right field as soon as Tuesday, but the skipper has opted to hold off for at least one more day. It does sound like Stanton being an option for the outfield is imminent, though, which would free up the Yanks to use others in the DH spot.

Stanton went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Mets.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Josh Donaldson will handle designated hitter duties in the series finale while Stanton takes a seat in what appears to be little more than a maintenance day. Since being reinstated from the 10-day injured list June 1, Stanton has gone 3-for-20 (.150 average) with a solo home run in his first six games back with the Yankees.

Stanton will sit Saturday against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton returned from missing nearly seven weeks with a left hamstring injury and immediately looked like his usual self, hitting a solo homer in Friday's loss. He won't be asked to start two days in a row right away and will continue to have his workload monitored, but he should be in the lineup on a regular basis going forward. Josh Donaldson will be Saturday's designated hitter.

Stanton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in a loss to the Dodgers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton spent almost seven weeks on the IL with a strained left hamstring before making his return to New York's lineup Friday. The slugger didn't seem to miss a beat, as he was one of only two Yankees to reach base multiple times in the loss. Stanton tagged Clayton Kershaw for a solo shot in the fourth inning, giving him five long balls in just 14 contests so far this season. He's been productive when able to play, adding 12 RBI and a .273/.310/.600 slash line over 58 plate appearances, but Stanton's health is a constant concern in fantasy given his assortment of significant injuries over the past several years.
