When Stanton and Bellinger return, it’ll be interesting to see how the Yankees use him. With the recent trade acquisitions of outfielder Heliot Ramos from the San Francisco Giants and first baseman Luis Garcia Jr. from the Washington Nationals, Boone may have some tough lineup decisions to make later in the season.
