Giancarlo Stanton's perspectives on a possible outfield comeback following Aaron Judge's injury alarm within the Yankees
In a potential shift for the New York Yankees, the team is considering a role change for slugger Giancarlo Stanton if star player Aaron Judge needs to serve as the designated hitter due to a flexor tendon injury.
Judge's injury has left the Yankees in a bit of a quandary, and they are looking to Stanton as a possible solution. The 35-year-old designated hitter, who returned to the lineup on June 13 after recovering from his own elbow issues, has agreed to the team's plan to consider him for the outfield.
Stanton, who has not played in the outfield for nearly two years, expressed confidence in his ability to take on the challenge. He shared his views during a recent conversation, which took place within the last 24 hours. The discussion was reported by The Post.
Giancarlo Stanton is healthy enough to potentially play in the outfield, but there is no exact time given for when he will return to the outfield if Judge must be used as the designated hitter. Yankees manager Aaron Boone emphasises careful monitoring of Judge's readiness for the outfield, but has not specified Stanton's exact return timing to that position.
Meanwhile, Judge, who missed the first 10 weeks of the regular season due to elbow issues in spring training, is currently dealing with the flexor injury.
The Yankees are not rushing Stanton back to the outfield, as they are keen on ensuring he is ready for the challenges that come with playing in the field. If Stanton does make his outfield debut, it will occur at an unspecified date in the future.
Despite the uncertainty, the possibility of Stanton playing in the outfield has added an interesting dynamic to the Yankees' roster. Manager Aaron Boone will no doubt be keeping a close eye on Stanton's progress as he prepares for a potential return to the outfield.
