4 years agoNew York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (quad) has been scratched from Friday's lineup due to left quad tightness. Stanton was originally slated to resume his usual role as the number-two hitter in the order, though he was removed from the lineup late. The slugger had appeared in each of the last nine games, so it could just be a daily wear-and-tear situation, with the Yankees opting for caution. The team should provide an update on his status. Gary Sanchez, who was initially slated for a day off, will serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup.--Tim Capurso
