The New York Yankees also rolled out a star-studded lineup at Double-A affiliate Somerset on Tuesday that included Giancarlo Stanton, Josh Donaldson and right-handed pitcher Tommy Kahnle.

Stanton didn't impress - going 0-for-3 and drawing a walk as Somerset lost to Red Sox Double-A affiliate Portland 3-1.

Donaldson went 1-for-4 in his fourth rehab game as he comes back from a strained right hamstring and Stanton was hitless in three at-bats in his first appearance since injuring his left hamstring on April 15. Kahnle pitched one inning, giving up one run, one hit and walked two.

Boone said the hope is Kahnle will join the team in Los Angeles this weekend. He did not have a timeline on Stanton.

'We´ll see. Get through today and see where we're at. We'll just kind of listen to him and hear what he has to say after today's game and then we'll continue to make a call on it,' Boone said.
