The opportunity for Giancarlo Stanton finally arrived.
asserted
opportunity → arrive → Stanton
His first at-bat in five-plus months just did not turn into a moment, but what Aaron Boone saw in it was one of the few things he liked in the Yankees’ 1-0 loss to the Rays in Game 1 of the ALDS on Saturday night at Tropicana Field.
asserted
he → turn → Field
Try it freeWith the Yankees trailing by a run in the top of the ninth, and Rays righty closer Bryan Baker entering from the bullpen, Boone sent Stanton up to pinch hit for the left-handed-hitting Ryan McMahon to lead off the frame.
asserted
Boone → try → frame
Stanton, who last took an at-bat April 24 because of three separate calf strains, ended up striking out on five pitches.
asserted
who → take → pitches
The veteran slugger fouled off the first pitch, took two balls and a strike, then foul-tipped a 96 mph fastball on the inner third into the catcher’s mitt for Strike 3.
asserted
slugger → foul → Strike
“Baker’s obviously had a great year,” Boone said.
asserted
Boone → have → year
So not that I was going to hit for a lot of my lefties there, but felt the threat of Giancarlo — I thought he had a really good at-bat.
asserted
he → go → bat
I thought he was on all [five] pitches.
asserted
he → think → pitches
I thought he was seeing the changeup well.
asserted
he → think → changeup

he → think → bat
“I liked what I saw.
asserted
I → like → what
He took the right at-bat.

He → take → bat
He just didn’t clip it.
asserted
He → clip → it
So yeah, I’m going to take my shot with a hitter there and got [José Caballero] to run for him and we’ll take our shot right there.”
asserted
we → go → shot
Stanton had been 5-for-7 with one strikeout in his career against Baker, with the potential to tie the game on one swing, though it did not come to fruition.
asserted
it → tie → fruition
Ryan Weathers also made his first appearance since Aug. 22, relieving Gerrit Cole in the sixth inning and getting three groundouts to first base against three left-handed hitters.
asserted
Weathers → make → hitters
“I felt super healthy,” Weathers said.
asserted
Weathers → feel → ?
Stuff was coming out really good.”
asserted
Stuff → come → ?
The lefty, who spent the last month-plus rehabbing a left forearm flexor strain, indicated he should be available for Monday’s Game 2, especially because he only needed nine pitches to retire the side Saturday.
asserted
he → spend → side
The Yankees left Weathers off their roster for the wild-card series to give him more time to build up, hoping it would allow him to be available more often in the ALDS.
asserted
him → leave → ALDS
The other lefties in the Yankees bullpen are heavily used setup man Brent Headrick and the soft-tossing Ryan Yarbrough.
asserted
lefties → use → bullpen
Headrick lost some velocity late in the season, looking like he might be running out of gas, while Yarbrough is mostly on the roster to offer some length if the Yankees get into a tough spot.
uncertain
Yankees → lose → spot
To add Weathers, the Yankees took veteran utility player Amed Rosario off their roster to go with 11 pitchers and 15 position players.
asserted
Yankees → add → pitchers
The righty-hitting Rosario was on the wild-card roster against the Red Sox, but the Rays have fewer left-handed pitchers and the Yankees already have Paul Goldschmidt, Heliot Ramos and Stanton as right-handed pinch hitting options.
asserted
Rays → hit → options
Because Anthony Volpe is more of a threat on the bases and offers better defense at second base (and potentially third), Rosario became what Boone described as the “odd man out.”
asserted
Boone → offer → man
“Tough call, because of how important he’s been to our team,” Boone said.
asserted
Boone → say → team
“But he understands, too, and he’ll be the same Rosie he always is as far as what he means to the team and in that room.”
asserted
he → understand → room
