For the New York Yankees' first two games against the Minnesota Twins this week, Aaron Boone rolled with the hot hands. He kept Giancarlo Stanton in the field and benched Jasson Dominguez. He went with Ben Rice behind the plate over Austin Wells.
The results? Two wins. We won't start tooting the official horn until the Yankees play an opponent who didn't incinerate their roster at the trade deadline, but there's something to be said about this team showing more life. And even if that weren't the case, there was an argument to be made about Wells losing playing time because of how ineffective he's been (whether that was due to a lingering injury or just downright poor play).
