Yankees’ Best Lineup Could Force Giancarlo Stanton Into Right Field

The Yankees still have no clear timetable for Aaron Judge, and Evan Roberts fears the captain may not return until the postseason. Shaun Morash is in for Tiki Barber alongside Evan as they examine how Giancarlo Stanton’s recovery and the arrival of Luis Garcia Jr. could create a complicated lineup puzzle, including the possibility of Stanton returning to the outfield. They also push back against concerns about adding a new catcher to a dominant pitching staff, arguing that the Yankees’ unacceptable production at the position outweighs any adjustment period. Plus, Garcia’s awkward defensive fit matters far less to an offense desperate for power, and his extra year of control could make him the eventual replacement for Jazz Chisholm Jr.
