For the first time in nearly three months, Giancarlo Stanton finally returned to the outfield for Game 1 of the ALCS.
The Yankees slugger started in left field against the Astros at Minute Maid Park in Wednesday’s 4-2 loss to the Astros, his first start in the field since July 21 before he dealt with Achilles and foot injuries.
Giancarlo Stanton makes a nice running catch on a fly ball to left field by Yuli Gurriel in the fourth inning of the Yankees’ 4-2 Game 1 loss to the Astros. Stanton then broke off a piece off the scoreboard after bracing himself when he was nearing the wall after making the catch.In the first inning, Jeremy Pena drilled a line drive to left-center field that got over the reach of Stanton, who did not get a great jump on it.
Moving Stanton out of the DH spot allowed Matt Carpenter to get his first start of the postseason there against Astros ace Justin Verlander. It will not be a permanent move to the outfield for Stanton — especially when the series returns to Yankee Stadium, which features a more challenging left field than Minute Maid Park — but having him available to play the field offers the Yankees greater lineup flexibility with left field and shortstop likely to be in flux throughout the ALCS.
