New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone says there is a "good chance" Giancarlo Stanton will be playing in the outfield for the first time in almost two years on Saturday against the Houston Astros.

With Aaron Judge able to serve as designated hitter but not able to field — he is beginning to build up his right arm after a flexor strain — and with lefty Framber Valdez expected to be on the mound for the Astros, the Yankees are ready to at least somewhat risk Stanton’s legs to shoehorn his bat into the lineup.

The New York Yankees have benched Giancarlo Stanton for a few games in a row following Aaron Judge's return from the injured list, but things may change soon.
