It seems as if the Yankees have replaced Joey Gallo in the outfield with … Joey Gallo.
With Gallo now with the Dodgers, Andrew Benintendi went 1-for-23 with just an infield single before a double in a loss Friday night to the Cardinals and Aaron Hicks slipped into an 0-for-29 slump, entering Saturday without an extra-base hit since July 9.
After the game Friday, manager Aaron Boone addressed both potential concerns, with Giancarlo Stanton and newly acquired Harrison Bader on the injured list.
Boone expressed no issues with Benintendi, saying the outfielder, picked up from the Royals before last week’s trade deadline, saying, “He’s the last guy you worry about. He’s such a good hitter.”
