Giancarlo Stanton resurfaced as a spark for the Yankees, pinch-hitting in the ninth and drawing a walk as New York mounted an 8-4 rally to beat the Cardinals. Stanton’s appearance—his first since midweek—came while he nurses lower-body soreness, with Anthony Volpe pinch-running and scoring in the late surge. Meanwhile, Aaron Judge remains the Yankees’ designated hitter as he rehab throws ahead of a possible outfield return. Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt came back into the Cardinals’ lineup, with Goldschmidt delivering a multi-hit day after knee inflammation and a spirited standing ovation marking a six-season Cardinal reunion. Rehabbing arms from both clubs surfaced in the bullpen notes: Loáisiga’s rehab start and Cruz’s brief return-to-action. The mix of health updates and late-game offense shaped a tight narrative as the season moves toward critical late-summer windows.
