However, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton calmed things down quickly. Each of them went deep early against the Tigers, treating New York to a big game.</p><p>Judge homered in his first two at-bats, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-aaron-judge-ties-joe-dimaggio-new-york-history-bomb">tying Yankees legend Joe DiMaggio in career home runs with 361</a>. However, he was not the only New York slugger who sent a message against Detroit. Stanton followed him with a solo home run of his own in the third inning. For a player that has been disregarded because of his injury history, the former All-Star can still swing a big bat.</p><p>Stanton stepped in against Tigers reliever Sawyer Gipson-Long. He faced a full count when he turned on a slider over the heart of the plate. The former MVP crushed the pitch <a href="https://twitter.com/Yankees/status/1966292979292807206" rel="noopener">429 feet to left field</a>, giving New York a 5-1 lead in the third inning.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Big G with his 20th blast of the season 💪 <a href="https://t.co/oD9Lhyw4Zk">pic.twitter.com/oD9Lhyw4Zk</a></p><p>— New York Yankees (@Yankees) <a href="https://twitter.com/Yankees/status/1966292979292807206?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 12, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Stanton’s 20th home run of the season is a good sign for a team that needs him. Boone has had issues with an inconsistent offense throughout the year. If Stanton and Judge hit their stride heading into the playoffs, there might not be a more dangerous lineup for opposing pitchers to fact in a series. For now, Yankees fans can relish watching their team put its best foot forward.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-giancarlo-stantons-injury-timeline-remains-uncertain">Stanton struggled with injury early in the season</a>. Since coming back, he has taken some time to get his feet back under him at the plate. However, that has not stopped him from notching another 20 home run season, making him the seventh Yankees player to do so this season. New York needs him to be in peak form for the playoffs. If he is, the sky’s the limit for the Yankees.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Stanton’s homer was his 18th of the season and came at a moment when the Yankees needed a spark to keep pace in the tight American League playoff race.</p><p>The 35-year-old designated hitter has been heating up since returning from an elbow injury that cost him the first two months of the season. In just 57 games, Stanton is now batting .288 with 18 home runs, 46 RBI, and 28 runs scored. With ace Gerrit Cole out for the season, offensive production from veterans like Stanton has become critical for the club.</p><p>Entering Wednesday’s game, the Yankees hold a 77-61 record, trailing the Toronto Blue Jays by 2.5 games in the AL East. They remain neck-and-neck with the Boston Red Sox for the top Wild Card spot, while the Houston Astros are still battling for control of the AL West.</p><p>With just under 25 games remaining, moments like Stanton’s moonshot can shift momentum in a hurry. As the club prepares for upcoming series against the Detroit Tigers, Blue Jays and Red Sox, every win matters — and every swing from Stanton could be a game-changer.</p><p>Stanton’s blast wasn’t just a highlight — it was a reminder of the impact he brings to the lineup when healthy. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-aaron-boone-optimistic-yankees-playoff-outlook">As the Yankees continue their push toward October</a>, every swing counts, and the slugger’s resurgence might be coming at the perfect time.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Manager Aaron Boone <a href="https://x.com/TalkinYanks/status/1962889330143207886" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> that the Yankees star will start in left field against the Astros. This move marks Stanton’s first appearance in left field since September 14, 2023, in Boston. The decision comes with strategy in mind, as the short porch in left field at Minute Maid Park offers a defensive advantage for the Yankees.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Giancarlo Stanton will play left field in Houston tonight, per Aaron Boone. Stanton hasn't played left field since September 14, 2023 in Boston</p><p>Boone added that Aaron Judge is "getting close" to playing the field, but they don't have a set date for that yet <a href="https://t.co/vt2ls5eZru">pic.twitter.com/vt2ls5eZru</a></p><p>— Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) <a href="https://twitter.com/TalkinYanks/status/1962889330143207886?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 2, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Boone explained that Giancarlo Stanton’s flexibility gives the Yankees more options as they face the Astros in a crucial matchup. In recent games, Stanton has spent most of his time at designated hitter or right field. Now, he takes on a role that could boost the lineup’s balance.</p><p>Moreover, the Yankees believe Stanton’s athleticism can handle Houston’s unique dimensions. In particular, the short left-field wall can also turn potential doubles into manageable plays.</p><p>Meanwhile, this series also brings back memories of the 2022 ALCS, when the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-aaron-judge-new-yorks-alcs-stumbles-reach-depths-never-seen-in-mlb-history">Astros swept the Yankees 4-0 to advance to the World Series</a>. Stanton played in all four games and went 2-for-12 with no home runs. As a result, the Yankees’ offense struggled to produce against Houston’s dominant pitching staff. That postseason disappointment still lingers, which adds extra motivation for New York heading into this series.</p><p>For Stanton, the return to left field could spark confidence and rhythm at the plate.

After an extra-inning victory on Saturday pushed the winning streak to seven, the Bombers were close to breaking it open on Sunday. Giancarlo Stanton hit a long fly ball that could have given the Yankees a 4-1 lead, but White Sox outfielder Mike Tauchman <a href="https://x.com/MLB/status/1962227209747275776" rel="noopener">had different ideas</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Mike Tauchman robs Giancarlo Stanton of a home run with a sensational catch! 🤯 <a href="https://t.co/xxSLn6zfDV">pic.twitter.com/xxSLn6zfDV</a></p><p>— MLB (@MLB) <a href="https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1962227209747275776?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 31, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Stanton hit a moon shot to right field, which Tauchman timed perfectly. He leaped to the top of the right-field wall and pulled back Stanton’s home-run bid. The third-inning robbery kept the Yankees’ lead at 2-1, while a homer for Stanton would have made it 4-1.</p><p>Tauchman was on the Yankees from 2019 until the middle of the 2021 season. He played 141 games for the Bombers across all three outfield positions, posting a .798 OPS. They traded him to the San Francisco Giants, and then Tauchman spent the 2022 season in the Korean league. Since that one-year stint, he spent two years with the Cubs and this one with the White Sox.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/chicago-cubs/cubs-news-mike-tauchman-wild-walk-off-homer-triggers-new-historic-low-white-sox">White Sox signed Tauchman to a one-year deal this offseason</a> after he was non-tenured by the Cubs. He has been worth the investment, with solid defense and a .782 OPS on the Southside. He is under team control for next year as well, and could be part of the turnaround for the Sox.</p><p>Stanton has been incredible for the Yankees, but was robbed of his 18th home run in his 55th game of the season. Since Aaron Judge’s elbow injury, Stanton has been thrust into the field, and his offense has not missed a beat. The Yankees would not be atop the Wild Card standings without Stanton’s contributions this season, even with this home run taken away.</p><p>The Yankees head to Houston for a three-game set against the Astros starting Tuesday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While this past weekend’s series against the Boston Red Sox did not go to plan, the Yankees salvaged a win in Sunday’s series finale. Since that win, New York has taken two out of three from the Washington Nationals at home and look to complete the sweep on Wednesday afternoon. Veteran slugger Giancarlo Stanton has been pretty locked in since returning from his elbow injurie. <a href="https://x.com/snyyankees/status/1960548744807501968" rel="noopener">Due to his recent form,</a> teammate Cody Bellinger gave Stanton his flowers via X (formerly Twitter) account Yankees Videos.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Cody Bellinger says Giancarlo Stanton is "locked-in" at the plate right now:</p><p>"He hits the ball harder than anyone I've ever seen." <a href="https://t.co/Dzcw8uvRvv">pic.twitter.com/Dzcw8uvRvv</a></p><p>— Yankees Videos (@snyyankees) <a href="https://twitter.com/snyyankees/status/1960548744807501968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 27, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“Cody Bellinger says Giancarlo Stanton is “locked-in” at the plate right now: ‘He hits the ball harder than anyone I’ve ever seen,'” posted the Yankees-focused account on Tuesday night.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-giancarlo-stanton-5-rbi-nationals">Stanton is well known for</a> his legendary power, as he’s routinely driven the Yankees to victory with the pop of his bat. Teaming up with fellow former MVPs in Bellinger and team captain Aaron Judge has helped Stanton continue his offensive onslaught. The powerful designated hitter hit a 451-foot moon shot during the Bronx Bombers’ 5-1 win over Washington on Tuesday. Will he be able to help slug the Yanks to victory once again on Wednesday?</p><h2><b>Cody Bellinger, Giancarlo Stanton hope to help lead Yankees back to playoffs</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Yankees-OF-Cody-Bellinger.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/yankees-news-cody-bellinger-paul-goldschmidt-return-giancarlo-stanton-sits-again">Bellinger has also had an</a> excellent first season in the Bronx. That’s without getting to Judge, who was favored to win the AL MVP award before an IL stint a few weeks ago. For now, Stanton has used his prodigious power to help keep the Yankees in playoff contention. While the Wild Card spot is not what New York had in mind just a few months ago, not getting into the playoffs would be a huge disappointment.</p><p>For now though, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/new-york-yankees/yankees-news-ny-completes-historic-6-game-feat-in-red-sox-series-finale">Yankees are slated to face</a> the Red Sox once again in the Wild Card round. This time though, the series would be hosted by Boston at Fenway Park. The Bombers have won a lot of key games at Fenway, and this postseason could bring yet another titanic clash between the two. Can Stanton, Bellinger and Judge power New York to the top Wild Card spot, if not another AL East crown? If they can manage the latter, then a path to the World Series becomes just a bit easier.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
