Giancarlo Stanton returns to outfield for first time in nearly two years as Yankees scramble for answers
NY Post
It’s Old-Timers’ Day on Saturday at Yankee Stadium and Giancarlo Stanton is turning back the clock by manning the outfield once again.
The slugger will be in right field and bat fourth against the Astros.
Stanton is playing in the outfielder for the first time in nearly two years for the matinee clash against the Astros in The Bronx.
He last played the field on Sept, 14, 2023, starting in left field. Stanton last appeared in right field on Sept. 9, 2023.
“I think just talking with him and seeing his week of work, he feels ready to go do it,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said of Stanton. “Expectations are he catches what he gets to. I’m sure on some level, the range will be limited out there but he’s worked hard this week. Just on his glove work, the little meticulous things that he does to get himself prepared.”
The Yankees are using Stanton in the outfield to allow for both the slugger and Aaron Judge to be in the lineup at the same time while Judge works his way back from his flexor strain.
