Yankees’ Giancarlo Stanton takes big step toward injury return

The New York Yankees are continuing to compete despite dealing with a number of injuries. The Yankees are a contender at the moment, but they will become a serious contender once players such as Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Carlos Rodon return from injury. The same can be said for Giancarlo Stanton, who is dealing with a calf injury.

It is a step in the right direction for Stanton, who has been limited to just 24 games played this season. The 36-year-old is still more than capable of making a significant impact in the lineup. He may not be the same MVP-caliber player he once was, but Stanton’s injury return — whenever it does happen — will give this Yankees ball club a boost.

Updates on Giancarlo Stanton’s injury status will continue to be monitored and provided as they are made available.

Overall, New York is 66-52 and in second place in the American League East standings. The ball club is currently six games behind the first place Tampa Bay Rays. However, the Yankees do hold the top AL Wild Card spot as of this story’s writing.

Stanton and the rest of the injured Yankees’ returns from injuries will prove to be crucial once they happen. For now, New York will look to perform well with its current roster.

The Yankees are set to host the Mariners at 7:05 PM ET on Tuesday night.
