Overview

  • On August 12, Stanton recorded four hits and three RBIs in a 9-1 victory over the Twins.
  • These were Stanton’s first outfield appearances since 2023, and he has started three games in right field this week.
  • Aaron Judge remains limited to designated hitter and a throwing program after a right elbow flexor strain, with no firm date to resume outfield duties.
  • Reliever Jonathan Loáisiga threw a bullpen session Tuesday and could be activated from the injured list soon.
  • Boone is rotating catching duties between Ben Rice and Austin Wells to balance offensive output with defensive framing.
