Inbox: Will Stanton play more outfield in 2019?

Giancarlo Stanton was playing injured last year. What is his health status, and do we expect to see him playing more outfield than last year?
-- Manuel H., Mexicali, Mexico

As a refresher, though Stanton was managing a tight left hamstring for an extended period, he said that he felt a responsibility to be on the field while players like Aaron Judge, Didi Gregorius and Gary Sanchez were sidelined. Stanton, 29, made 85 consecutive starts from May 28 through Sept. 1, many of them on 1 1/2 legs, which deserves applause.
