Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Yankees' dominant win over the Padres.

Fantasy Impact

His two-run shot contributed to the team's commanding victory, showcasing his power even amidst a season with a middling .246 batting average. Stanton's 13th homer of the season aligns with his known ability to change the game with one swing, but his high strikeout rate (.306) and low walk rate (.066) continue to be areas of concern for fantasy managers. While the power numbers are appealing, his overall value is tempered by the lack of consistency in getting on base, as reflected in his .344 wOBA. Fantasy managers should continue to view Stanton as a boom-or-bust option in lineups, particularly valuable in categories that reward power hitting.

Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Yankees' 5-0 victory over the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a walk and a strikeout. This season, Stanton's batting average sits at .246 with 12 home runs and 27 RBI through 45 games. His power remains an asset, though his high strikeout rate (.313) and relatively low walk rate (.067) continue to limit his on-base potential. Fantasy managers should value Stanton for his home run ability, but be wary of the batting average and on-base percentage drag. His .340 wOBA indicates solid production, but improvements in plate discipline could significantly enhance his value.

Fantasy Impact
