Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton expected to play for Double-A Saturday, could join team in Boston for series finale

As the Yankees get set for a three-game series against their rival Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park over the weekend, Giancarlo Stanton remains in Double-A on a rehab assignment.

While Stanton is not in Friday's lineup for the Somerset Patriots for the first time during his rehab after playing three straight days earlier this week, he is expected to play on Saturday, per manager Aaron Boone.

Following Saturday's game, New York is not ruling out the possibility of Stanton joining the team in Boston for the series finale. However, that scenario may be unlikely with Sunday being a day game.

In three games for Double-A, Stanton is hitting .273 (3-for-11) with four RBI.
