Stanton, who has been working in the corner outfield spots over the past week, would start against left-hander Framber Valdez.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"936\"><strong data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"502\">Recent Playing Time and Injury History<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"936\">Stanton has not started a game since Monday against the Texas Rangers. Aaron Judge assumed designated hitter duties the next day while managing a right flexor issue, and Boone limited Stanton\u2019s outfield appearances after Judge was placed on the injured list on July 26. Stanton missed most of the season\u2019s first half due to injuries to both elbows and has a history of lower-body injuries that have reduced his time in the field.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"1250\"><strong data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"966\">Performance Since Return<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"1250\">Since returning on June 16, Stanton has posted a .268 batting average, .340 on-base percentage, and .528 slugging percentage, with 10 home runs and 28 RBIs in 37 games. In his last 27 games, he has gone 11-for-26 (.423) with 17 RBIs when batting with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1252\" data-end=\"1602\"><strong data-start=\"1252\" data-end=\"1276\">Manager\u2019s Assessment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1252\" data-end=\"1602\">Boone said Stanton has looked good in workouts and has been honest in assessing his readiness. Outfield coach Luis Rojas noted that Stanton\u2019s performance in the field has improved throughout the week. Boone added that if Stanton finishes his current work without issue, he is expected to play in the outfield on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Giancarlo Stanton may make his first outfield start since September 14, 2023, when the Yankees face the Houston Astros on Saturday at Yankee Stadium.
