Why Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton won't play the field for a while

NEW YORK -- Get used to Shane Robinson.

Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton's tight left hamstring isn't better yet, he told reporters following Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rangers at Yankee Stadium.

It's going to keep him at designated hitter rather than a corner outfielder for a while longer, he added.

"It's fine," he said. "I'm managing. I'm going to be DH for a little bit and keep getting stronger."

That means to expect more Robinson in the Yankees' outfield as they await the returns of Aaron Judge (fractured right wrist) and Clint Frazier (post-concussion symptoms).
