The New York offense sagged without Stanton, as opposing pitchers often pitched around superstars Juan Soto and Aaron Judge without fear of their teammates beating them.
The Yankees had endeavored to make their lineup Stanton injury-proof, but the likes of Torres, Alex Verdugo, Anthony Volpe, and DJ LeMahieu came up short in his absence.
The Yankees have gone 10-18 without Stanton, better than only the dismal White Sox in that span.
Stanton's return is expected to bolster the lineup, highlighting the team's reliance on his performance for offensive success.
