Giancarlo Stanton's return to the New York Yankees is anticipated soon, likely during their upcoming series against the Los Angeles Angels. His presence is set to significantly enhance the Yankees’ batting lineup, which will be restructured upon his comeback. Pre-stanton, the Yankees fielded a lineup featuring Jasson Dominguez, Aaron Judge, and Cody Bellinger, among others.

Dominguez, primarily a right-handed hitter, may see reduced starts against left-handed pitchers due to his recent struggles. The Yankees will need to carefully craft matchups to optimize their success, particularly considering the batting order's mix of left-handed and right-handed hitters. Notably, Ben Rice, who has filled in at designated hitter and catcher during Stanton's absence, will also see his role adjusted to balance the lineup effectively.
