3 years agoNew York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton won't play in the upcoming two-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Stanton can't serve as the designated hitter with the series set to be played in Philadelphia, with manager Aaron Boone noting that the slugger isn't an option in the field yet. Stanton has reportedly been getting some defensive work in, suggesting that he could play in the field at some point down the road. The Yankees could utilize him as a pinch-hitter against the Phillies, though he won't see a more steady dose of at-bats until the following series against the Toronto Blue Jays.--Tim Capurso
