Steinbrenner Field in Tampa where Miguel Andujar, DJ LeMahieu and Stanton were participating in BP. Paxton\u2019s expected return date from February back surgery was late May or early June, so he should be ready if the season opens. Stanton appears to be on track for the first <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> and Hicks could soon follow.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the five players identified by The Post who will benefit the most from a shortened schedule if it is 81 games or fewer. All decisions are predicated on the players avoiding injury.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gary_Sanchez\"><\/span>Gary Sanchez<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When a six-month grind turns into a three-month gig, players with chronic lower-body injuries benefit. That goes double for a thick-legged catcher like the 27-year-old Sanchez, who has been limited to 195 games in the past two seasons due to two stints on the injured list each year.<\/p>\n<p>A shortened season means Sanchez should be fresh in July. That should not only help him behind the plate but in the batter\u2019s box, where his power has produced 52 homers in the past two years but only a .211 average with a .776 OPS.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aaron_Judge\"><\/span>Aaron Judge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since the right fielder suffered a fractured top right rib last September and wasn\u2019t expected back until summer according to GM Brian Cashman, it is difficult to predict when Judge will be ready.<\/p>\n<p>But a shortened season can help the 28-year-old who has been limited to 214 games the past two years due to a fractured wrist and an oblique injury. Safe to say Aaron Boone will monitor Judge\u2019s workload with the hope he doesn\u2019t miss extended time for a third straight season.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15782344\"><img alt=\"Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge and Clint Frazier\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"662\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Gary Sanchez, Aaron Judge and Clint Frazier<\/span><span>N.Y.

Mike Tauchman is an above-average corner outfielder with a left-handed bat who would add balance to the Yankees\u2019 right-handed dominant lineup. Andujar didn\u2019t embarrass himself in several spring training games in left and an extra roster spot could go to Clint Frazier.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Submit your Yankees questions here to be answered in an upcoming Post mailbag<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clint_Frazier\"><\/span>Clint Frazier<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With a 26-man roster it would have been hard for the 25-year-old outfielder to stick. However, if four spots are added, Frazier could be a bench option and a right-handed bat against lefties either in the field or as the DH.<\/p>\n<p>Frazier\u2019s defense in spring training was better, his profile lower and his bat produced a .320 (8-for-25) average in a dozen games.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"James_Paxton\"><\/span>James Paxton<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A free agent in November whether a season is played or not, the 31-year-old lefty starter could benefit greatly with a strong three months that would reduce the concern about his health history. Paxton has been on the IL eight times since 2014 and had back surgery in February.<\/p>\n<p>If he avoids injury in a shortened season and pitches to his pedigree (56-32 with a 3.50 in 131 big-league games), Paxton would set himself up for a nice payday even in what is likely to be a depressed free-agent market.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/06\/04\/five-yankees-who-will-benefit-most-from-short-mlb-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Sports <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch Movies<\/a> or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Five Yankees who will benefit most from short MLB schedule&#8221; June 4, 2020 | 8:30pm In between tracking the talks between the owners and players about what a possible 2020 season could deliver, The Post is looking at five Yankees who could benefit from a shortened schedule and the possibility of rosters expanding from 26&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3877,3878],"class_list":["post-2026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","tag-five-yankees-who-will-benefit-most-from-short-mlb-schedule","tag-in-between-tracking-the-talks-between-the-owners-and-players-about-what-a-possible-2020-season-could-deliver"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2026\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
