Yankees: Who will be the starting left fielder on Opening Day?

The Yankees outfield as a whole last season was a strength of the club mostly because of the contributions they got from RF Aaron Judge and CF Aaron Hicks. Brett Gardner was the primary left fielder for most of the season but he really struggled in the second half and eventually lost his starting job to September trade deadline acquisition Andrew McCutchen.

Giancarlo Stanton was solid filling in at the corner outfield spots when he wasn’t the DH but the expectation is that he’ll continue to get the majority of his at-bats at DH in 2019 and beyond.
