Whenever the 2020 MLB season gets underway, the New York Yankees expect to have Giancarlo Stanton in the lineup, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch.

Yankees hitting coach Marcus Thames told reporters Wednesday that Stanton "looks good."

"He did some stuff inside and then we took a couple of rounds on the field, trying to space ourselves out, not touching the balls and all kinds of stuff."

Stanton was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right calf strain in February, which put his availability for the originally scheduled Opening Day in doubt.
