Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Giancarlo Stanton is hurt again.
Before the shortened season, things were looking up for Stanton. The layoff gave him plenty of time to heal from offseason injuries, a shortened campaign meant he had a better shot of staying healthy throughout, and he had started the season off strong. It looked like everyone who’d proclaimed “well he ONLY has to stay healthy for 60 games” were on their way to a nice profit…..wrong. Stanton is now sitting on the IL with a minor hamstring strain that is going to sideline him for 3-4 weeks. Knowing Stanton, and knowing the Yankees, I would expect it to be more towards 4, if not longer. We’re venturing into total lost cause territory with Stanton. In his absence, Mike Tauchman immediately becomes startable in all formats and Clint Frazier is going to get yet another opportunity to show he can stick with the big club.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
