Stanton Homers in Yankees' 9-4 Rout of Astros

Giancarlo Stanton (RF,DH - NYY)

Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Yankees' 9-4 victory over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact
His solo shot contributed to the team's robust scoring effort, though his overall batting average remains a modest .228 through 33 games this season. Despite the low average, Stanton's power numbers are holding steady, with eight homers and 20 RBI. His high strikeout rate (.338) and low walk rate (.075) continue to be areas of concern, potentially limiting his value in points leagues that penalize strikeouts. However, his ability to change the game with one swing keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats, especially those that heavily reward power statistics.
