Boone said Stanton would also get starts in left field, depending on what ballpark the Yankees were playing in.<\/p>\n<p>Stanton said he was fine with that idea and added his ankle was healthy, but he lamented his performance Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was definitely [ticked] off,\u2019\u2019 Stanton said. \u201cI haven\u2019t had a day like that in a long time, if ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Aaron Hicks had two infield hits a day after reaching base four times.<\/p>\n<p>Boone was as encouraged by his two walks on Tuesday as he was by the singles Wednesday from the struggling Hicks.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=NYPH3805475924\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny time Aaron is walking like he did [Tuesday] night, it means his timing is getting into a good place,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cHe\u2019s making good swing decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boone also pointed to better at-bats from Hicks recently.<\/p>\n<p>In seven games in June, Hicks is 9-for-22 with four walks and just two strikeouts. On the downside, Hicks doesn\u2019t have any extra-base hits during this stretch, as his power continues to be nonexistent in his offensive game.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>DJ LeMahieu went 0-for-3 with a sacrifice fly Wednesday. He entered the game in an 8-for-22 stretch, with two doubles, a homer, seven RBIs, seven walks and just three strikeouts in his previous six games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel good and want to keep it going,\u2019\u2019 LeMahieu said. \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve had some impact on games and hope to string a couple together here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His three hits on Tuesday gave LeMahieu 1,500 for his career.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the state of the team Wednesday, LeMahieu noted the contributions from up and down the lineup \u2014 but he couldn\u2019t help but point out the obvious: [Aaron] Judge is doing his thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Judge leads the majors with 22 homers and entered Wednesday with three homers in four games, four in six and five in his last eight. He went 0-for-3 with a walk in the loss.<\/p>\n<p>Boone said what has led Judge to this torrid pace is his \u201ctrack record.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a great player and hitter,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cHis aptitude and experience coupled with the talent he has as a hitter has allowed him to get incrementally better at this point of his career than years before. And he\u2019s walking up there with a ton of confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Anthony Rizzo entered Wednesday with three homers in his previous four games after a 30-game stretch in which he went deep just twice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think his quality of contact has improved,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cEven in the stretch when he struggled, he seems to have winning at-bats when it counts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His seventh-inning homer on Tuesday was evidence of that. He was 0-for-4 Wednesday.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
