For the fourth consecutive game, Neil Walker started in right field last night. They’re the only four right field starts of his career. Aaron Judge is out with his fractured wrist and Giancarlo Stanton is nursing a tight hamstring, which has pushed Walker into right field. Who would’ve guessed it would come to this back in April and May? Goodness.
Neither Judge nor Clint Frazier is expected back anytime soon, which means either Walker will continue to see time in right field (likely) or Shane Robinson will get more playing time than anyone would like (possible). Either way, it’s not an ideal situation.
