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.

After a rain delay that lasted nearly two hours, the Yankees smashed nine home runs in their 13-3 rout of the Rays in Tampa Bay on Tuesday night.
