Yankees face roster decisions impacting Giancarlo Stanton's future

As the New York Yankees approach a critical period, Giancarlo Stanton's absence due to a calf injury raises questions about his role. Yankees manager Aaron Boone may have to consider Stanton as a platoon player upon his return, especially with other star players like Aaron Judge also expected back soon. Stanton, who last played in April, has made progress by running the bases but lacks a definitive return date. Yankees insiders suggest concerns about fitting Stanton into the lineup given the team's current player dynamics and his high contract.
