Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Sitting Friday

Stanton is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

Stanton has struggled of late, going 1-for-20 with eight strikeouts over his last five games, and his slash line is down to .225/.275/.471 for the season. Trent Grisham will start in center field Friday while Aaron Judge serves as the designated hitter against Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks.
