Despite not getting the desired results at times, the New York Yankees have felt encouraged by some of Giancarlo Stanton's at-bats as of late.
The Yankees hope to get another productive showing from Stanton and the rest of their offense on Sunday when they host the Chicago Cubs before heading into the All-Star break.
Those hits gave Stanton 10 RBIs over his past 11 games. Although he is hitting .208 overall and .174 since returning from a hamstring injury on June 2, Stanton is 6-for-23 over his past seven games. "Stanton is a massive human being," Chicago starter Drew Smyly said after the Cubs dropped to 1-9 all-time in the regular season in the Bronx. "You feel like if you throw it in the strike zone, you are putting it on a tee."
