Overview

  • Giancarlo Stanton will start in right field against the Rays on Tuesday in Tampa and sit Wednesday ahead of the Red Sox series, per Aaron Boone.
  • Aaron Judge is not expected to play the outfield in the two-game Rays set, with no timetable for a defensive return.
  • Boone said Judge’s throwing likely will not return to normal this year, noting the priority is ensuring he can protect himself in the field.
  • Judge’s rehab throwing has progressed to roughly 150 feet on long toss as he continues to DH, while Stanton returns after missing three games with general soreness.
  • The Yankees plan to activate Amed Rosario before Tuesday’s game as they juggle outfield and DH assignments to maintain lineup flexibility during the wild-card push.
