The veteran has suffered numerous leg injuries throughout his career that have crippled his mobility. However, with the Yankees needing right-handed bats in their lineup against a southpaw, it seems Stanton will return to the outfield.<\/p>\n<p>The expectations on the veteran slugger shouldn&#8217;t be high. It&#8217;s unlikely he&#8217;s going to play very well in the outfield because of his limited range and mobility. However, he was once a solid defensive outfielder, so the balls hit right at him shouldn&#8217;t be any sort of issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Yankees have benched Giancarlo Stanton for a few games in a row following Aaron Judge&#8217;s return from the injured list, but things may change soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":75152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Aaron Boone Makes Giancarlo Stanton Decision Amid Yankees&#039;
