Left field has been a revolving door for the Yankees this year. Spring training began with Clint Frazier gunning for Brett Gardner’s job; the season opened with Giancarlo Stanton playing there due to an injury to Aaron Hicks; and Cameron Maybin—who started the season in Cleveland’s minor league system—roamed left field before Hicks returned. In the meantime, Frazier and Mike Tauchman spent considerable time there. Even Tyler Wade and Thairo Estrada made cameos in the outfield!
Over the last few weeks, Gardner has entrenched himself as the starting left field.
