PHILADELPHIA -- The New York Yankees activated Giancarlo Stanton from the injured list Monday, further fortifying a lineup that seems to be turning a corner after a six-week funk.
Infielder/outfielder Jahmai Jones was designated for assignment to make room on the active roster for Stanton, who returned to the Yankees after missing over a month with a strained left hamstring.
Stanton will serve as Yankees' designated hitter and bat fifth -- one spot ahead of newest Yankee Jazz Chisholm Jr. -- in Monday's series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank in his first game action since he hurt his hamstring running the bases on June 22.
