The New York Yankees won 3-2 against the Cleveland Guardians in their opening game, establishing the best run differential in the American League following the Tigers' loss. Manager Aaron Boone is faced with lineup challenges as Giancarlo Stanton recovers from elbow inflammation. His recent workout in Tampa points towards a potential return, but Stanton's reintegration into a high-performing lineup adds complexity. Boone's decisions will be crucial as the team competes strongly in offense, currently holding second in OPS and home runs in the league.
"Stanton's rehab is growing increasingly complicated, as Boone will continue being asked to give answers to the slugger's status that he doesn't actually have."
"While Stanton almost singlehandedly carried the Yankees to the World Series last year, the lineup as currently constructed is one of the best in the league."
