The Yankees started playing Stanton in the field again last Saturday as a way to get his bat into the lineup with Aaron Judge currently limited to DH duties as he recovers from a right elbow flexor strain. Judge has thrown as far as 150 feet in his throwing progression, but there are no indications that his return to right field is imminent.

Stanton helped the Yankees to a 6-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night. "He was locked in, dialed in," Aaron Judge said.
