The Yankees finally saw the Giancarlo Stanton they expected in the playoffs, when the oft-injured slugger hit six homers and had 13 RBIs in seven games.

That performance, according to general manager Brian Cashman, proved Stanton wasn’t overwhelmed by the spotlight of playing for the Yankees.

“I thought Stanton, showing what he did in the postseason, I think should eliminate anybody’s questions about whether he can play in New York or not, that do come up,’’ Cashman said on a Zoom call Wednesday. “It’s just, bottom line, when he’s healthy, he’s a beast.”

That, of course, is the issue. And it’s something the 31-year-old has not been able to do for most of his three seasons in The Bronx.

“Keeping him healthy is the key,’’ the GM said. “It’s not questioning whether the New York scene is a scene for him or not because it felt like he was gonna hit a home run every game in the postseason against elite pitching. That’s what he seemed to be doing.”

But there’s no getting around the fact that various injuries have limited Stanton to 41 games and seven homers in the last two regular seasons.

The Yankees remain hopeful the work Stanton has done with the new strength and conditioning program started last offseason will help in that regard.

Stanton isn’t the only one the Yankees hope to keep in one piece over a full season. In addition to Aaron Judge, Cashman pointed to Aaron Hicks, who struggled at times coming back from Tommy John surgery last season. But the GM was encouraged by what Hicks was able to do in the playoffs.

“You saw what he is in the postseason again,’’ Cashman said. “When the stakes are highest, that’s when you see the best of Aaron Hicks.”

The Yankees are also interested in bringing back Brett Gardner, a free agent, and Clint Frazier emerged as a consistent threat last season, while 2019 standout Mike Tauchman was mostly a mess.

Cashman said he’s gotten a number of inquiries into Tauchman’s availability, but that he still values the lefty-swinger’s ability to play all three outfield positions, as well as the fact he’s under team control for another four years.

There are expectations around the league that spring training and the regular season will be delayed due to COVID-19. For now, Cashman said “currently, it’s all systems go” to start on time.

“I’ve been told nothing about our season starting late or compromised,’’ Cashman said. “We have a spring training schedule, report date and a season. Until someone above me tells me otherwise, we’re planning to hit those marks.’’

Cashman addressed his comments from last week, when he said Gleyber Torres wasn’t in good shape entering the second spring training.

“It wasn’t a criticism as much as a fact,’’ Cashman said. “Once he got back online, he was what he was. I think Gleyber Torres is obviously an elite player.”
