Giancarlo Stanton Is Back in the Yankees' Lineup While Aaron Judge's Status Remains Unchanged
Giancarlo Stanton’s ability to play outfield hinges on his physical readiness as Yankees manage injuries during a crucial late-season push, with next test Tuesday against the Rays.
- Giancarlo Stanton returned to the New York Yankees' lineup on Tuesday night to play right field against the Tampa Bay Rays in Tampa, Florida.
