2021 Projections
2021 Fantasy Outlook
Of all the stats you can delve into to analyze Stanton's recent performance, one tells the story: 18.5%. That's the percentage of regular-season games that Stanton has played for the Yankees over the past two campaigns (41 out of 222), rendering him a massive bust for fantasy managers who banked on his tremendous power. Sure, the slugger still mashes when he's in the lineup -- he posted an 18.4% barrel rate and 51.0 Hard% last season -- but those numbers are meaningless if Stanton can't remain on the field. A dominant postseason run (six homers, 13 RBI in seven games) will no doubt add to the allure of drafting Stanton now that he's moved further down the board, and a permanent move to DH should in theory reduce his injury risk. The latter will also hamstring his fantasy eligibility, however, making it hard to justify a draft position inside the first eight rounds. Read Past Outlooks

Could make spring debut Wednesday
Stanton won't play in his first spring training game until at least Wednesday against Toronto, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanton is healthy entering the start of exhibition play, but the team is opting to hold him out for the time being. He could debut Wednesday night against the Blue Jays, though he'll likely continue to be eased into action over the course of the spring. Stanton is projected to primarily function as the team's DH this season due largely to an injury history that has limited him to only 41 games over the past two seasons.

After two seasons of injury-free baseball, Stanton returned to his old ways, missing most of the season with major injuries to both his biceps and his knee. It is a waste of time to look at anything he did over 72 plate appearances, and even if we did, it was mostly a display the skills we've come to expect from the behemoth. The overall issue remains the same with him -- massive power to all fields with a propensity to be pitched around, destroy a baseball, or get himself out swinging at heat up an in over his hands which sets up the slider away. Stanton remains susceptible to breaking stuff away from righties, and he has developed a large split in his slugging percentage between righties and lefties. In that stadium, with that lineup, the health is the only concern here. We have seen Stanton struggle with a variety of injuries and he is only now 30 years old. Set your expectations at 130 games played.
