What our Post expert thinks about Yankees vs. Rays The Yankees will hand the ball to Carlos Rodon on Tuesday. Rodon is coming off his best start in weeks, his last time out, but he's been too inconsistent over the summer for the Pinstripes, adding to their issues. If the southpaw can stabilize, the Yankees can make a serious surge up the standings. Shane Baz will stand opposite Rodon on Tuesday evening. 21+. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER.

Yankees' outfield shuffle continues with new plan for Giancarlo Stanton
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free TAMPA — In the Yankees' home away from home, Giancarlo Stanton is venturing back to right field. Stanton will start Tuesday's game against the Rays in right field at Steinbrenner Field, manager Aaron Boone said on his weekly Talkin' Yanks podcast appearance, before sitting out Wednesday's game in advance of a crucial four-game series against the Red Sox back in The Bronx. Advertisement It will mark Stanton's first time playing the field since Wednesday — the last of three straight days he played the field, the first time he had done so since 2022 — which he had a difficult time recovering from. Giancarlo Stanton will play right field against the Rays. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect That lower-body soreness, along with Busch Stadium's more spacious outfield, kept Boone from using Stanton in right field over the weekend in a sweep of the Cardinals. Advertisement But Steinbrenner Field, the Yankees' spring training home, has the same dimensions as Yankee Stadium, meaning a smaller right field that the club is apparently comfortable with Stanton roaming. The Yankees know that playing Stanton in the field comes with an injury risk, but they are willing to do it to get his bat in the lineup at a time when Aaron Judge is limited to DH duties as he works back from a right flexor strain. it is not known when Aaron Judge will return to the field. AP Judge's timetable for returning to right field remains unclear, as he has played catch out to 150 feet but has not yet thrown to bases and the Yankees have been tight-lipped on when that might happen. Advertisement On Sunday, Stanton declined to say if there was a specific body part ailing him or just general soreness, which is how Boone had described it. The manager likened it to spring training when players are ramped up slowly to avoid injury, though Stanton knows the Yankees are at a critical point of their season. 'We got to make something work,' he said Sunday. 'There's no, 'like spring training, like whatever.' … Team's done great to pick me up in that regard.'

Yankees' Aaron Boone Makes Giancarlo Stanton Announcement Ahead of Rays Series
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees have been playing Giancarlo Stanton in right field with Aaron Judge serving as the designated hitter while he recovers from a flexor strain. Judge figures to return to the outfield at some point, but until then, Stanton will see time in the outfield. Stanton played right field last Wednesday, but did not play again until a pinch-hit appearance on Sunday. His status for the Yankees' two-game series against the Rays was unknown, but Aaron Boone just revealed the team's plans for him during his appearance on "Talkin' Yanks." NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 13: Giancarlo Stanton #27 of the New York Yankees reacts after striking out during the sixth inning against the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium on August 13, 2025 in... NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 13: Giancarlo Stanton #27 of the New York Yankees reacts after striking out during the sixth inning against the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium on August 13, 2025 in New York City. More"Aaron Boone tells us Giancarlo Stanton will play right field in Tampa (Tuesday), then will sit (Wednesday) night ahead of the Boston series," "Talkin' Yanks" wrote on X. Stanton is having a great year, slashing .299/.377/.576 with 12 home runs through 44 games. The former MVP can still get the job done at the plate, but injuries have caught up to him, limiting his speed and ability to play defense. Regardless, he is willing to play in right field to help the team win while Judge recovers. His bat is difficult to keep out of the lineup, but the Yankees need to be cautious with him. While they need him in right field right now, they likely do not want to risk losing him for an extended period of time. The upcoming series against the Red Sox is a pivotal one for the Yankees. Both teams are tied for second in the American League East and in the wild-card race. Resting Stanton leading into the series likely has to do with the team realizing the importance of beating the Red Sox.
