Overview

• Aaron Boone, the manager of the New York Yankees, plans to primarily play Aaron Judge in centerfield for the 2024 season, with occasional days at DH and left field.
• Boone has also discussed with Judge about playing a little bit of left field on certain days when he wants to get Trent Grisham in the outfield.
• In the batting order, Boone is leaning towards using Juan Soto second and Judge third, though this could change depending on who is hitting leadoff or cleaning up for the Yankees.
• Boone mentioned DJ LeMahieu, Alex Verdugo and Gleyber Torres as potential options for the leadoff spot.
• Boone expects the Yankees outfield rotation to mostly feature Judge, Soto, Verdugo, and Grisham, with Giancarlo Stanton also getting some outfield reps.
