The Bronx Bombers are back, and the addition of Giancarlo Stanton makes them one of the top offenses in the league. However, Stanton has been abysmal against right-handed pitching, but doing his usual against southpaws. Aaron Judge is right behind them, and while both have huge strikeout rates, we put up with it given their power numbers. Gary Sanchez has found himself on the DL, but when healthy he is struggling at the plate, mainly against right-handers. Austin Romine backs him up, and on occasion you will see Kyle Higashioka in there.

Outlook

The Yankees have some cheaper left-handed bats that always offer excitement when in the lineup. Greg Bird has returned, and has stayed healthy so far. His numbers against right-handers make him a strong look at first base. Neil Walker was the main option before Bird came back, but Bird is essentially the better hitter at this stage of Walker’s career, earning him more playing time. Gleyber Torres has been on an electric pace this year, and is one of the better fantasy players so far for the Yankees. His numbers at second base can rival some of the premier players at the position. Torres keeps finding himself moved up in the order. Miguel Andujar is in a similar boat, and while we were not sure what the plan was at third base before the season, Andujar has been a stable bat against both lefties and right-handers. Didi Gregorius is a streaky bat, but when he is on his left-handed bat gives the Yankees a lot of power, especially when at home. Aaron Hicks and Brett Gardner are similar options, although Hicks has shown the most upside of this duo. Hicks is a switch hitter, and hits well from both sides of the plate, but is slightly better from the right.
