The Yankees started playing Stanton in the field again last Saturday as a way to get his bat into the lineup with Aaron Judge currently limited to DH duties as he recovers from a right elbow flexor strain. Judge has thrown as far as 150 feet in his throwing progression, but there are no indications that his return to right field is imminent.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone says Giancarlo Stanton is nearing a return to the outfield for the first time in nearly two years.

If he can continue this trend, don't be surprised if he finishes with the best numbers he's had in pinstripes.
