Message: [QUOTE="OrangeXtreme, post: 4401388, member: 41"] Aaron Boone said Ron Marinaccio was a close call to be on the ALCS roster but they feel his delivery is still compromised by the shin injury. Aaron Boone said Frankie Montas will be used as a reliever. He’s not expected to give length out of the pen. Boone said Montas has looked “really good.” Giancarlo Stanton will start in LF today, but expect him to DH tomorrow with Matt Carpenter sitting vs. LHP. Aaron Boone said he wouldn’t rule out Stanton starting in LF at Yankee Stadium. Aaron Boone said Isiah Kiner-Falefa is in the lineup today because Justin Verlander is tough against lefties and a tough switch-hit matchup, which is why Oswaldo Cabrera is on the bench. Boone said he expects Cabrera will play LF tomorrow. Aaron Boone said this about how he plans on using Oswald Peraza: “He can pinch run. He can get in later in the series. Pinch hit for a shortstop. Maybe gets a start at some point.” [/QUOTE]
