Yankees Shuffle Lineup After Fifth Straight Loss to Angels - Athlon Sports

The New York Yankees will face the Los Angeles Angels without Giancarlo Stanton on Wednesday, as he takes a breather after playing in the last two games. In his absence, Jasson Dominguez will step in as the designated hitter, batting eighth, while Ben Rice makes his first start of the season at catcher. Rice has had limited opportunities since his call-up, primarily playing designated hitter or first base due to the presence of established players like Paul Goldschmidt. His versatility is being tested as the Yankees look to leverage his left-handed bat in an effort to break a five-game losing streak.

How is Giancarlo Stanton's absence impacting his fantasy value?What are the implications of Ben Rice's first start?What can we expect from Jasson Dominguez in the lineup?What strategies should the Yankees consider to break their losing streak?
