TAMPA -- As a team of Yankees was on its way to Clearwater for a spring training game against the Philadelphia Phillies, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton were out in left field at Steinbrenner Field working on learning a new position.

From about 9:45 to 10:30 Thursday morning, the slugging superstars took turns chasing down flyballs and groundballs hit their way at every which angle, from a pitching man sitting at home plate and later from a coach hitting soft tosses their way.

This has been going on the last few days - previously on back fields - and this time NJ Advance Media shot some video.

Both have been very good right fielders - Judge, in fact, was a Gold Glove finalist as a rookie in 2017 - but one will play some left field this season in addition to both seeing time in right and DHing.

Brett Gardner is still the starter in left field, but the Yankees want him playing fewer games this season. Gardner, who turns 35 in August, made 134 starts last season, five at DH and the rest in the outfield.

Also, manager Aaron Boone wants to free up the DH spot on certain days for catcher Gary Sanchez and other regulars.

Both stated early into spring training that they'd be fine moving from right to left, and Judge said it again Wednesday after DHing against the Detroit Tigers.

"I played left field my freshman season in college ... so I'm pretty familiar with it," Judge said. "I've been doing a little work out there the last couple of days getting some stuff off a fungo and off a machine, getting a read of the spin.

"I don't know who will go over there or when we'll go over there, but we're both excited just to be over there getting an opportunity to get in the field."
