\n Giancarlo Stanton planned to play this season leaner with the hope less weight on a large frame would help him avoid the injuries that limited him to 18 regular season game<\/a>s and five in the postseason last year.<\/p>\n

Then he suffered a calf strain at the beginning of spring training, but that didn\u2019t deter the Yankees\u2019 DH from shedding weight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was my plan without a pause,\u2019\u2019 Stanton said prior to Sunday night\u2019s 9-7 win over the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium where he went 0-for-2 with two walks and scored a run.<\/p>\n

Stanton will be 31 in November, so he isn\u2019t considered a candidate for the \u201cThe older a player gets the lighter he should be\u2019\u2019 chorus. Yet, after self-examination he is leaner.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a lot of time to think last year and just wanted to cover my bases,\u2019\u2019 said Stanton, who was on the injured list from April 1 to June 18 with a strained right biceps and went back on the shelf on June 26 with a sprained right knee that kept him out until Sept. 18. \u201cTry to figure out what the best way for me to stay on the field and progress. Thought this was a good time to get closer to my younger years, the weight of my younger years.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Listed at 6-foot-6 and 245 pounds, Stanton said he shed 20 pounds and the early results have been very good since he was hitting .288 (8-for-23) with two homers, six RBIs and a 1.160 OPS in seven games entering Sunday night\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

According to Aaron Boone, Aroldis Chapman could throw a bullpen session Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will see where he is at [Sunday],\u2019\u2019 Boone said of his left-handed closer who is on the COVID-19 IL but back with the Yankees following two negative tests. \u201cHe is doing great, everything has gone well. He has thrown back-to-back days and the hope is he will get back on the mound [Monday].\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Gerrit Cole starts Monday night against the Phillies and will be followed by James Montgomery and Masahiro Tanaka in the following two games.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

James Paxton vanished after three innings Sunday night and the Yankees needed a three-run eighth inning to beat the Red Sox, 9-7.<\/p>\n

However, Mike King, Adam Ottavino and Zack Britton worked six innings after Paxton left and gave up two runs, three hits and fanned seven. Britton ended the game with a perfect ninth and is 3-for-3 in save chances filling in for Chapman.<\/p>\n

A very solid outing in a pitchers\u2019 major league debut doesn\u2019t guarantee stardom, but Nick Nelson\u2019s three shutout relief innings in Saturday night\u2019s 5-2 win over the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium reaffirmed what Boone saw in the right-hander during spring training 2.0.<\/p>\n

\u201cLate in summer camp he really got my attention with one of his live [batting practices] where I was able to stand behind [the mound] and it was the best I had seen him throw. He followed it up in one of the sim games where he threw well again,\u2019\u2019 Boone said of the 6-foot-1, 205 pounder who was selected in the fourth round of the 2016 draft out of Gulf Coast State College. \u201cHe kind of pushed himself into the conversation. Obviously we went to him early in the season bringing him up. It took him a while to get his first game action but he delivered in a big way. I look forward to him being able to get back out there again.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

After Paxton didn\u2019t get out of the second inning on July 25 against the Nationals in Washington, Boone used his bullpen for seven frames and needed reinforcements from the alternate training site in Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Outfielder Clint Frazier and reliever Ben Heller were shipped out and right-hander Brooks Kriske and Nelson elevated to the big leagues. Kriske worked a scoreless inning last Wednesday against the Orioles in a 9-3 win and Nelson was the winner Saturday night.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

In the first two games of the season, the Yankees went 3-for-17 (.176) with runners in scoring position but entered Sunday night\u2019s action with 10 hits in the previous 29 at-bats (.345). They upped that to .371 (13-for-35) by going 3-for-6 against the Red Sox.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
