Yankees hold their breath as Giancarlo Stanton returns to right field originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Giancarlo Stanton didn’t make his 2025 debut until June 16 after rehabbing “tennis elbow” in both arms. Two months later, the 35-year-old slugger is showing exactly why the Yankees can’t afford to lose him again.

His greatest sustained surge as a Yankee, a month of raking for average and power, soared to another level of amazement Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. He went 4-for-5 with a 447-foot homer, a double to left-center and a two-run single off the base of the right-field wall in a 9-1 mashing of the Twins.
