New York Yankees fans are eagerly awaiting one thing: Giancarlo Stanton’s return. The Bronx Bombers are having a great season without Juan Soto, but one player cannot be replaced. Stanton is a huge fan favorite, and his injury setback has cost the team.
Stanton has shown great progress after his PRP injections. The slugger is waiting to get back in the game and start crushing home runs. It’s fair to admit that the Yankees will be in a better spot once Stanton returns. The team’s offense has been great, but there have been a few struggles lately.
Anthony Volpe has been on a slump, and Aaron Judge is carrying the weight of the team. Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt are doing a fairly good job of making up for Soto. However, “Big G” is the man who finishes things and carries the Yanks on top.
When Will Giancarlo Stanton Return?
Stanton has made huge progress after taking a huge step with his rehab this week. The slugger has moved past hitting from a high-trajectory machine and has started taking live BP sessions. His progress has projected him to return somewhere in May, which is not too far away.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone shared the recent update on Stanton. Boone said he’s been doing group hitting and doing a lot more inside.

“I don’t know how significant because he’s been doing a lot more than that (inside). But certainly it’s good to see him out there on the and in a (BP) group hitting. So I think all of us get a smile seeing that,” Aaron Boone said via Empire Sports Media.
Yankees fans have a great reason to rejoice, and they can expect clutch hits and monster home runs. Despite Giancarlo Stanton’s absence, Ben Rice has picked up the pace for the team. Rice already has six home runs in just 73 at-bats with a batting average of .288.
Giancarlo Stanton’s return will fill the missing links for the Yankees. With Judge, Bellinger, Goldsmith, and Jazz Chisholm in form, the Yanks could dominate the AL East division easily. The Yankees are now ranked No. 4 on the MLB week 4 power rankings.
