Not in Sunday's lineup Stanton is out of the lineup Sunday against the Marlins, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 30-year-old started the past four games but will receive the day off for the season finale. Barring an appearance off the bench, Stanton closes the 2020 campaign with a .250/.387/.500 slash line, four homers, seven doubles, 12 runs and 11 RBI in 23 games. Luke Voit will serve as the designated hitter while DJ LeMahieu shifts to first base Sunday.

Won't opt out Stanton will not be opting out of the remainder of his contract this offseason, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Impact Stanton has seven years and $218 million remaining on the contract that he signed with the Marlins back in 2014. It's possible that he could have beaten that number on the open market had he been healthier over the past few seasons, but it's unlikely that teams would give a player with his injury history that much money for the majority of his 30s.

Changing pregame, midgame routines Stanton is instituting "wholesale changes" to his pregame and midgame routines in an effort to avoid injury, Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports.

Impact Stanton was sidelined by a right calf strain during spring training and recently missed over a month of the regular season due to a strained left hamstring. The ability to stay on the field has hampered Stanton's tenure with the Yankees -- he played in only 18 games last season due to injuries to his biceps and knee. While the slugger was hesitant to offer specifics about the changes he has instituted to his routine, he did offer some insight about his approach. "Pregame, in-game all needs adjustments and I will have those," he said. "I've had those. We've got a new warmup, a new midgame routine. If certain things happen in the game, and I'm DH-ing and I don't run the bases for two at-bats, that's an hour and a half of no movement. So you've got to do more in between at-bats and stuff like that, which is obvious and what has been done but you've got to switch it up."

Launches first homer since return Stanton went 4-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact The homer was only his fourth of the season and his first since Aug. 8, although Stanton spent most of the time in between on the injured list. The 30-year-old is slashing .320/.460/.640 through only 16 games this season, but if he stays healthy he's capable of powering the Yankees into the postseason.
