The New York Yankees have been rotating and realigning their outfield daily as they wait for Harrison Bader to return from an oblique injury. Of course, Aaron Judge continues to manage a starting spot, and anytime Giancarlo Stanton is capable of playing defense, he is out there.
However, Stanton has mainly featured as the designated hitter, opening up an outfield slot that has surprisingly been taken over by Franchy Cordero, who was signed from the Baltimore Orioles just days before the regular season.

The Yankees love Franchy Cordero’s contributions:
With Aaron Hicks falling out of favor and Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s lack of experience in the outfield, Cordero has earned reps early on, especially given his lefty bat.
