BOSTON — As the Yankees look to line themselves up for the playoffs, their outfield appears to be in disarray, with Mike Tauchman out for the rest of the year with a left calf strain suffered Sunday night.

“Basically, we’re probably out of time for the season,’’ Aaron Boone said before the Yankees faced the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Monday and after Tauchman went back to New York and had an MRI exam that showed a Grade 2 strain.

That left the Yankees hoping for good news on Aaron Hicks’ flexor strain that also might keep him out for the rest of the year. Hicks was in California on Monday getting checked out by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, according to a source.

Cameron Maybin started in left on Monday, but he’s dealing with a ligament injury in his left wrist. And the Yankees clearly still aren’t comfortable putting Clint Frazier in the outfield on a consistent basis.

That leaves Giancarlo Stanton, who remains in Tampa, trying to come back from the sprained right knee that has kept him out since June 25.

Stanton is getting at-bats in simulated games at the team’s complex in Tampa, but Aaron Boone said it was possible he could be back with the Yankees during their next homestand, which begins next Tuesday.

“Things are moving as we hoped,’’ Boone said of Stanton’s rehab. “He’s ramping up pretty good.”

Boone added Stanton is “getting close” to running the bases at full speed and is working in the outfield.

“Potentially, the next homestand we could see him,’’ Boone said.

Stanton has played just nine games all season, dealing with biceps, shoulder and leg injuries.

And while he is getting at-bats against minor leaguers in Tampa, it’s not the same as seeing game action in the majors.

Hitting coach Marcus Thames understands the hurdles in front of Stanton, but believes Stanton is uniquely prepared for them.

“He’s so smart and cerebral about hitting,’’ Thames said. “We’re trying to get a plan together for him to watch guys so he can be locked in when he gets here.”

There’s no denying, though, that Stanton has had just 38 plate appearances all year.

“He’s been in the game so long, he should be fine,’’ Thames said. “But we know he’s been out a long time, so we want to get him as many at-bats as we can, because the game speed here is so much different than anything else he’ll face. It’ll be a challenge, but he’s well-equipped for it.’’

In the meantime, Boone mentioned using Maybin and Frazier to go along with Brett Gardner and Aaron Judge.

Maybin’s swing has been impacted by the ligament injury, but he singled after he came in to replace Tauchman on Sunday night.

“It’s something that’s not perfect, but he’s somebody we feel like will be a major contributor,’’ Boone said.

Maybin said the injury needed “to calm down” and “hopefully won’t be a problem the rest of the way.’’

Boone said Frazier would likely start Tuesday in Detroit against left-hander Matthew Boyd. And Maybin will be the backup center fielder when Gardner needs a day off.

Boone also pointed to little-used infielders like Tyler Wade and Breyvic Valera as options.

As for Stanton’s rehab, Double-A Trenton’s postseason will likely be over by the time he’s ready for game action, so he could head directly to The Bronx.

But Boone insisted he won’t be rushed back because of the Tauchman injury.

“It doesn’t speed him up,’’ Boone said. “When Giancarlo is ready, he’ll be here. We believe that he’s getting close, but we won’t speed that up.”
