New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton has been activated off the injured list and will make his season debut on Monday night against the Los Angeles Angels, the team announced. He's batting fifth in the lineup. In a corresponding move, Pablo Reyes was designated for assignment.

Giancarlo Stanton got two hits in his season debut for the Yankees against the Los Angeles Angels after missing New York’s first 70 games because of inflammation in the tendons of both elbows.

Slumps are part of baseball, is how the saying goes. But goodness, this one’s a beast. Not even designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton, refurbished elbows and all, could make a difference in a 1-0, 11-inning loss to the Angels on Monday night.
