Giancarlo Stanton Taking A Seat Sunday Night
1 year agoNew York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is not in the starting lineup Sunday night versus the Houston Astros and right-hander Cristian Javier. Stanton went 1-for-5 with a pair of strikeouts and a run scored in Saturday's victory over Houston but will take a seat for the series finale while slugger Aaron Judge will handle DH duties for the Bombers on Sunday in Houston. It's been a disappointing season for the former NL MVP as Stanton is hitting just .204 with 21 home runs and a .723 OPS across 85 appearances, production that grades out 5% below the league average, as per his 95 wRC+.
