- and in that time the team has struggled mightily.

The five-time All-Star will be a big shot in the arm for the Yankees' offense as they head into the Fall.

But this has hardly been Stanton's best season. His .228 batting average and .309 on-base percentage are on pace to be the lowest of his career.

The Yankees have seemingly gotten some of their mojo back with their ongoing three-game winning streak.

In wins over the Blue Jays and Mets, they've scored four runs each time after scoring four runs only once in the previous 11 games.

Suffice it to say, they could really use a boost in their scoring output if they want to get back on track.
