The Yankees need to play Aaron Judge in left during spring training

Over the last few years, the Yankees have had a bit of a roster construction conundrum, as both Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton have primarily been right fielders throughout the career. While the Yankees have used Stanton in left field — he has 60 games there since coming to the Bronx prior to the 2018 season — his injury history has caused the Yankees to prefer him in right field when he’s been in the outfield. With the exception of Judge’s time in center field last season, that has meant that Stanton has primarily been a designated hitter in pinstripes.
