While it could be that this was a scheduled day off, Stanton does have just one hit in his last 16 at-bats. This season, he has a .259/.331/.483 slash line with nine home runs and 24 RBI.
Aaron Judge will slide into the DH position for Stanton while Miguel Andujar, Brett Gardner, and Clint Frazier will be in the outfield from left to right.
