The MLB Postseason is just around the corner and the\u00a0Yankees can clinch a spot\u00a0in the playoffs with just one more win. There is not much to worry about for the American League&#8217;s best squad but there are a few small issues to work out before the winner-take-all portion of the schedule begins. For instance, manager\u00a0Aaron Boone\u00a0took a page from\u00a0Aaron Judge\u00a0to explain away\u00a0Giancarlo Stanton&#8217;s latest absence.<\/p>\n<p>Judge and Juan Soto are\u00a0making Yankees history.\u00a0Boone was pressed on why the Yankees were sitting Stanton\u00a0on the bench instead of being featured in the lineup for a second straight road game against the Seattle Mariners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is fine,\u201d Boone shrugged. \u201c(It is) more just wanting to get a couple of days, wanting to get Aaron [Judge] a DH day, day game after night game tomorrow. So I have my lefties in there today knowing I want righties in there vs. Gilbert tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all part of Boone&#8217;s\u00a0big-picture plan\u00a0given that the manager sees this as one of the most talented New York teams in years.<\/p>\n<p>Nestor Cortes will take the bump on the road against the Seattle Mariners with a chance to help the Yankees clinch a postseason spot. The club will have to do so without Stanton. Judge and Juan Soto&#8217;s slugging will have to suffice, at least for one more game.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of who is playing, fans know about\u00a0every celebration plan\u00a0for when the Yankees clinch the division.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny time you get in it, I think it\u2019s important to appreciate that,\u201d Boone explained. \u201cThe season is a gauntlet. It\u2019s long, it\u2019s a grind. Last year, we didn\u2019t make the playoffs, so maybe that gives you heightened appreciation for an opportunity to get into the dance.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Yankees pushing for playoffs advantage<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3038982\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3038982\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3038982\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Giancarlo-Stanton-rounds-third-base.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Giancarlo-Stanton-rounds-third-base.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Giancarlo-Stanton-rounds-third-base.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Giancarlo-Stanton-rounds-third-base.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Giancarlo-Stanton-rounds-third-base.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Giancarlo-Stanton-rounds-third-base.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Sep 2, 2024; Arlington, Texas, USA; New York Yankees third base coach Luis Rojas (67) and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (27) during the game between the Texas Rangers and the New York Yankees at Globe Life Field.

The National League&#8217;s Los Angeles Dodgers (89-62) are also one game ahead. Those are issues to worry about once the World Series rolls around though.<\/p>\n<p>New York also needs to stay ahead of the Cleveland Guardians (87-65) to keep home-field advantage on the AL side of the bracket. A road win over the Mariners would not only clinch a postseason spot, it would also put the Yankees five games ahead of the Baltimore Orioles with 10 left to play.<\/p>\n<p>The Mariners mascot is not happy about the situation in Seattle.
