Giancarlo Stanton hitting second Tuesday for Yankees

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton will start at designated hitter and bat second in Tuesday's series opener against right-hander Lucas Giolito and the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

Aaron Judge (toe) remains out, so Stanton will move up a spot in the order for the second straight game. He was the Yankees' cleanup batter in every other start this season. Josh Donaldson will hit cleanup on Tuesday, with Anthony Rizzo one spot ahead and Anthony Volpe right behind him. Willie Calhoun will work out of the six-hole.

numberFire’s models project Stanton ($3,600) for 11.3 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Yankees' implied total is 4.23 and the game total is 8.0. Greinke has a 4.08 ERA and 1.26 WHIP this season, with a 23.9% strikeout rate and 7.3% walk rate.
