Four months later, one of several questions surrounding the defending American League champions this spring: When will we see him in the batter's box again? On Saturday, the Yankees announced Stanton will begin the season on the injured list with elbow injuries.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone is comfortable giving Oswald Peraza and Oswaldo Cabrera a look at third base amid DJ LeMahieu's injury.

Stanton's absence will give Boone a chance to shift his outfield. Former MLB outfielder Cameron Maybin has suggested moving Jasson Domínguez, who has struggled adjusting to left field, back to center to regain comfort. It's a good idea.
