TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton will return to the New York Yankees’ lineup Tuesday night after missing three games with what the team described as general soreness, manager Aaron Boone told radio station WFAN.

Stanton will play right field in one of the two games against the Tampa Bay Rays, but Aaron Judge is not expected to appear in the outfield in either.

There is no set timetable for Judge’s return to the field. He was scheduled to test his right elbow with long toss on Tuesday.

“I don’t know yet,” Boone said. “What I’ve said is I’m waiting on the trainers to say, ‘thumbs up.’ He’s expected to long toss again today, so I don’t expect it here in Tampa. Could it be Boston? Maybe. I just don’t know yet.”

Boone added that Judge may not regain full throwing strength this season.
