The Yankees entered Tuesday fifth in the American League in runs scored and fourth in homers, and that’s with almost no production from Giancarlo Stanton, who was finally back in the lineup for their 6-3 win over the Rays in The Bronx.

“We’re already dangerous and now it’s another icing to the cake,’’ Stanton beforehand of his return. “We’ve got to build this together. Once we’re all in full force, it’s going to be a lot of fun. I’m just glad to be back and Aaron’s not far behind.”

That would be Aaron Judge, who played his fourth game of his rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and homered on Tuesday. He figures to be less than a week from returning to the Yankees’ lineup after being out with a strained oblique.

Boone said Judge would play right field with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre again Wednesday and could be back with the Yankees on Friday.

“It’s certainly possible,” Boone said.

Judge told reporters in Scranton he’s “been ready. It’s just about getting the reps in and making sure this thing stays healthy and there’s no issues.’’

Stanton went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in his first game back and heard some boos.

“I didn’t swing at the best pitches tonight, but I had OK at-bats,’’ Stanton said.

Boone agreed.

“He’s still kind of finding his way and his timing,’’ the manager said. “He’ll get there.”

Stanton had last played on March 31, when he suffered a torn left biceps. He then received a cortisone shot in his strained left shoulder, which slowed his recovery, and then a strained left calf suffered during a rehab game with Single-A Tampa last month sidelined Stanton again.

He said the biceps injury helped cause the strain to his shoulder and added that being hit on his knee while taking batting practice may have led to the calf strain.

“I probably should’ve taken more time than I did because my knee was unstable and my calf strength [wasn’t there],’’ Stanton said. “I was so close. Build up, had to stop, build up, had to stop three times. So it was very frustrating and not ideal for sure. I’m just glad that’s over with and I can look forward, because that wasn’t a fun time.”

Aaron Boone is confident Stanton’s presence in the lineup will make the offense even better.

“It’s a good lineup,’’ the manager said a day after Edwin Encarnacion joined the team following a trade from Seattle. “It’s exciting to have those kinds of players, weapons and hopefully they can get settled in here early and comfortable and off we go.’’

Given Stanton’s history, there likely will be more bumps in the road, since he’s streaky under the best of circumstances. Now, he’ll have to be worked into form and will be forced to play the field on a consistent basis.

“We’ll take that into account and probably ease him in as far as everyday mode,’’ Boone said. “There will probably be an opportunity here and there to get him out of the game late. We’ll just kind of monitor it day-to-day, maybe similar to Didi [Gregorius] and how we’ve built him up so far [in his return from Tommy John surgery].”

The lineup has thrived even without Stanton — and Gregorius, Judge, Aaron Hicks and Miguel Andujar — for long stretches thanks to the resurgence of Gary Sanchez and Luke Voit showing last year was no fluke. Gleyber Torres has been important, as well, as have the arrivals of DJ LeMahieu and Gio Urshela.

“The boys have been fun to watch while I’ve been gone,’’ Stanton said. “It’s going to be good to file in and battle with them.’’

His goals remain the same after looking to find his swing during his rehab stint.

“It’s just having the quickness, getting the barrel there,’’ Stanton said. “So, obviously, the homers are the ultimate goal, but even if I squared up a couple of balls, that’s what you’re looking for.’’

That’s what Boone is looking for from Stanton — and others.

“We have a lot of dynamic players and hitters and Giancarlo’s one of those,’’ Boone said. “Hopefully the length we have in that lineup makes it difficult on the opposing team and opposing pitcher. … The more we can grind out at-bats against teams, hopefully that pays dividends for us.”
