Stanton Injury Setback: Yankees' Woes Deepen
14 Jun
Summary
- Giancarlo Stanton's recovery from a calf strain has been slowed by a recent flare-up.
- His return from the injured list is now uncertain, impacting the team's homestand.
- The Yankees are also missing key players Aaron Judge and Trent Grisham due to injuries.
New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton has experienced a setback in his recovery from a left calf strain. The injury, initially sustained on April 24, flared up again last week while he was running the bases.
Manager Aaron Boone indicated that Stanton felt a twinge, delaying his progress and jeopardizing his expected return during the team's current homestand. Stanton, 36, had been batting .256 with three home runs and 14 RBIs in 24 games this season.
The Yankees are facing a significant number of injuries to their outfielders. Reigning American League MVP Aaron Judge remains on the injured list with a rib stress fracture, with an expected return in July or August. Trent Grisham was also recently placed on the injured list.
Despite the challenges, Boone expressed confidence in the team's depth, noting it's an opportunity for younger players. The team recalled Jasson Dominguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to help fill the void.
