As the New York Yankees navigate a concerning injury scare with superstar Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton is stepping up and expressing confidence about potentially returning to the outfield for the first time in nearly two years.

Stanton confirmed he is ready to embrace the role if the Yankees coaches decide they need him out there, stating, "Yes" when asked about manager Aaron Boone’s plan to explore outfield options if Judge has to take on designated hitter duties following his recovery.

Before the Yankees' Sunday matchup against the Phillies, Stanton reassured fans and teammates alike, saying, "I’ll be fine. When they put me out there, I’ll be fine. I don’t know when it will be. This all has happened in the last 24 hours, but I do feel like I can do it."

With Stanton’s resilient spirit and readiness to contribute, the Yankees may have a secret weapon to help compensate for Judge’s absence as they aim for the postseason.
