The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels are playing a three-game series this week at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.

With Giancarlo Stanton's return on the horizon, how will the Yankees split playing time between their veteran slugger and Ben Rice?

Nearly two weeks after Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Stanton was "getting really close to doing a rehab assignment," Boone said on Wednesday that Stanton would be in New York and advance to next steps imminently. On May 25, Cashman told MLB Network Radio that Stanton was hitting off of a pitching machine and "doing everything."
