Hendricks threw a variety of 86 mph fastballs, 80 mph changeups and 73 mph curveballs at the Yankees, and they seemed off balance all night. He struck out nine and he walked just one in six shutout innings. (Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images)

Overview

  • Stanton was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and replaced utilityman Pablo Reyes on the 40-man roster.
  • He went 2-for-4 with a double in his season debut, but New York fell 1-0 in 11 innings to the Los Angeles Angels.
  • The Yankees have managed just four runs during their four-game losing streak and are 4-for-36 with runners in scoring position in that span.
  • Manager Aaron Boone plans to rotate a crowded core that includes Stanton, Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt to balance playing time.
  • Stanton emphasized team wins and noted that nonstarters will play pivotal pinch-hit roles as the club seeks to end its offensive drought.
