New York <a href="https://twitter.com/yankees/status/1664338416585023512?s=12&amp;t=bm8qRt18zuhlXFzV7rKRAQ" rel="noopener">reinstated</a> OF/DH Giancarlo Stanton, 3B Josh Donaldson, and RP Tommy Kahnle from the injured list, with Donaldson and Stanton returning from the 10-day IL and Kahnle returning from the 60-day IL, per the Yankees’ Twitter. Additionally, SP Carlos Rodon was transferred to the 60-day IL as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-carlos-rodon-gets-positive-injury-update-ahead-of-mariners-game" rel="noopener">he continues to deal</a> with injury concerns.</p><p>Stanton’s return will draw the most attention. There was a chance that he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-giancarlo-stanton-big-move-ahead-dodgers-series-bodes-well-injury-return" rel="noopener">was going to be activated</a> ahead of the Yankees-Dodgers series in Los Angeles, but nothing was certain until now. His presence in the lineup will be pivotal for the Yankees. Donaldson and Kahnle’s returns shouldn’t be overlooked either.</p><p>Let’s take a look at each of these three players ahead of the Yankees-Dodgers series.</p><h2><b>Giancarlo Stanton: A true Yankees’ star</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/yankees-news-new-york-makes-official-giancarlo-stanton-josh-donaldson-injury-moves-ahead-of-dodgers-series.jpg"></figure><p>Aaron Judge is the best player on the Yankees, and arguably in all of baseball. Other than Judge, New York doesn’t feature another true superstar position player.</p><p>Anthony Rizzo has been impressive in 2023 and is a former All-Star. DJ LeMahieu was once regarded as one of the better infielders in the game. Even the aforementioned Donaldson is a former MVP. Stanton, though, is still a superstar.</p><p>Stanton is a five-time All-Star and previous MVP winner. Injuries have unfortunately impacted him over the years. He made the All-Star team in 2022, but was ultimately limited to only 110 games played. In 2023, Stanton has appeared in just 13 games.</p><p>If he can manage to stay on the field moving forward, the Yankees will have a pair of star sluggers in their lineup between Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge.</p><h2><b>Is Josh Donaldson still good?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/yankees-news-new-york-makes-official-giancarlo-stanton-josh-donaldson-injury-moves-ahead-of-dodgers-series_3.jpg"></figure><p>Josh Donaldson’s performance for the Yankees since arriving in New York in 2022 has been underwhelming to say the least. He slashed just .222/.308/.374 with a .682 OPS and 15 home runs last season. In 2023, Donaldson has hit only .125 with a .489 OPS across five games.</p><p>So is there reason to believe Donaldson can still be a productive player?</p><p>His numbers weren’t terrific in 2021. Donaldson, who was with the Minnesota Twins at the time, hit .247 with an .827 OPS and 26 home runs. However, those numbers aren’t bad either. If he can play at that level, the Yankees would benefit. He likely isn’t going to return to his 2015 MVP-form, when he crushed 41 home runs and posted a superb .939 OPS.</p><p>Believe it or not though, Donaldson is still a capable ball player. It will be interesting to see how he fares with the Yankees upon his return from injury.</p><h2><b>Tommy Kahnle</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/yankees-news-new-york-makes-official-giancarlo-stanton-josh-donaldson-injury-moves-ahead-of-dodgers-series_4.jpg"></figure><p>Tommy Kahnle, a former Dodgers reliever, features intriguing upside. His career ERA of 3.78 is respectable, and he posted a solid 3.67 ERA back in 2019 with the Yankees. Since the ’19 campaign though, Kahnle has appeared in just 14 total games.</p><p>He may struggle upon his initial comeback from injury. That is to be expected given how little he’s pitched over the years. However, he is a talented pitcher. Kahnle could end up being an X-Factor of sorts for the Yankees in the bullpen.</p><h2><b>Yankees-Dodgers series</b></h2><p>The Yankees-Dodgers series is going to be exciting. In a battle between two of baseball’s biggest markets, there will be no shortage of star power on the field at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.</p><p>The Yankees have to feel confident heading into the series with Stanton, Donaldson, and Kahnle back on the active roster.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Although they still trail the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles, two of their starters are going to make returns from injury soon: Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson. Both sluggers are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-giancarlo-stanton-big-move-ahead-dodgers-series-bodes-well-injury-return" rel="noopener">traveling with the team</a> on its road trip to Los Angeles with the expectation that they will be cleared to return to the lineup.</p><p>Stanton hasn’t played since April 15 and Donaldson hasn’t played since April 5, both due to hamstring strains. Staton injured his left while Donaldson injured his right. In order to accommodate the returns of Stanton and Donaldson, the Yankees <a href="https://twitter.com/Yankees/status/1664284508210991107?s=20" rel="noopener">optioned three players</a> down to their minor league affiliate, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.</p><p>“Following last night’s game, the Yankees optioned INF/OF Oswaldo Cabrera, INF/OF Franchy Cordero and LHP Matt Krook to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre,” the team announced on Twitter.  The Yankees will face the Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend before returning back home.</p><p>Cabrera is one of the Yankees’ notable prospects but has not had a good season so far, posting a .538 OPS across 50 games. Cordero had a very hot start to the season with four home runs in seven games but has also fallen off, posting a .567 OPS at the moment. Krook hasn’t thrown for the Yankees yet but has been pretty good at the Triple-A level.</p><p>Stanton has a .854 OPS across 54 plate appearances this season. Donaldson has a .489 OPS but across just 17 plate appearances. Aaron Judge is still smacking the air out of the ball <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-aaron-judge-on-the-verge-of-obliterating-babe-ruths-98-year-old-mlb-record" rel="noopener">on a regular basis</a>, propelling the Yankees’ offense along with Anthony Rizzo. Getting Stanton’s bat back and getting the most they can get out of Donaldson will be key. Especially with other guys like Harrison Bader and Oswald Peraza also injured, the returns of the veteran hitters are very helpful.</p><p>Along with Stanton and Donaldson, pitcher Tommy Kahnle is expected to make his season debut during the Yankees’ West Coast trip, too. A right biceps injury has sidelined the 33-year-old. Residing in arguably the toughest division in MLB means that New York cannot afford any more injuries to multiple key players at a time.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In three games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Donaldson slashed .333/.539/.778 with a home run and two RBI.</p><p>The former MLB MVP has not played in the big leagues since early April due to a hamstring <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-aaron-boone-josh-donaldson-injury-return" rel="noopener">issue</a> but is apparently looking healthy enough for the Yankees to expect him to return to action before the end of the week.

In five appearances thus far in the 2023 MLB regular season, the 37-year-old only has two hits and an RBI across 16 at-bats. Back in the 2022 MLB season, Josh Donaldson hit .222/.308/.374 with 15 home runs and 62 RBI.</p><p>Donaldson was traded to the Yankees by the Minnesota Twins in 2022.

Stanton, who’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-giancarlo-stanton-injury-rehab-assignment" rel="noopener">expected to begin a rehab assignment</a>, is targeting an early-mid June return, with his <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/yankees-injuries-and-roster-moves" rel="noopener">rehab assignment expected to start</a> around May 29th, per MLB.com. Donaldson could <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-aaron-boone-josh-donaldson-injury-return" rel="noopener">return</a> even earlier from his injury, with Aaron Boone not ruling out a May 29th return, per MLB.com as well. Although, returning June 2 against the Los Angeles Dodgers is reportedly more likely.</p><p>The Yankees are playing well for the most part. That said, they are still chasing the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East. Heading into Saturday, Tampa Bay held an eye-opening eight-game lead over the Yankees. New York has their work cut out for them if they want to repeat as division champions.</p><p>Giancarlo Stanton’s return will be especially important for New York. He features immense power which helps to provide necessary protection for Aaron Judge in the lineup. The key for Stanton moving forward will be to remain healthy following his return. Injuries have unfortunately been problematic for the slugger over the years, so the Yankees may opt to primarily play him at DH upon his return.</p><p>Josh Donaldson’s return won’t be quite as impactful as Stanton’s, but it shouldn’t be overlooked. Although Donaldson isn’t the same MVP-caliber player he once was, the veteran third baseman can make things happen on the field. His presence in the lineup also adds an extra element of depth for the Yankees.</p><p>Barring setbacks, Stanton and Donaldson will return within the next couple of weeks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
