The New York Yankees will host the Kansas City Royals for the second game of their Bronx series on Saturday afternoon, coming off a 4-2 win over Kansas City on Friday night at Yankee Stadium.
In that victory, Giancarlo Stanton went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, a rough offensive line that underscored the ongoing challenges he’s facing in this short stretch.
For Sunday’s game, Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated Stanton will likely be out of the lineup, giving him a double off day ahead of the Red Sox series.
The update was shared by Greg Joyce of The New York Post, who noted Stanton’s likely day off as New York prepares for the next matchup.
With Stanton resting, the Yankees will look to keep the momentum from Friday’s win while rotating through their lineup to face Kansas City once more.
