Occasionally I suppose, but not often at all. It's pretty rare that you'd want all your outfielders in the lineup over the designated hitter. I don't think I've seen it happen any time recently elsewhere.
The Yankees are probably one of the only teams you would see that happen with currently, because of what their outfield and DH situation is. Their outfield is pretty strong, and they don't really have a lot riding on the DH spot like lots of teams do in the AL.
