Giancarlo Stanton exits the game with a calf injury
The latest injuries will be a colossal headache for the NY Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone. Reacting to Stanton’s injury, Boone sounded a bit off.
The Yankees’ manager said that they do not know the severity of the injury. “Not sure if it’s the calf if it’s part of the calf, or what. We’ll know more in the morning,” Boone said.
While talking about DJ LeMahieu, Boone provided some good news to the Yankees fans. According to Boone, LeMahieu will be fine in a couple of days. Because his MRI report came clean on Tuesday.
“Really good news,” Boone informed. “We’re pretty optimistic that hopefully, he’s back, if not tomorrow, the next day probably.”
Will these injuries affect the Yankees’ performance?
Losing their key players in the middle of the league has not been good for any team. But the Yankees’ manager must know how to utilize his roster. Because injuries are part of the game, and given the situation, he must figure out the best replacements.
