Giancarlo Stanton Shows Progress in Calf Rehab

His status keeps the Yankees turning to Max Schuemann and Jasson Dominguez.

Overview

  • YES Network’s Meredith Marakovits reported Stanton said his right calf feels better, he took batting-cage swings, planned a pool workout, and expects to hit again soon.
  • The Yankees have Stanton on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain, a move the team announced after his last game in late April.
  • Manager Aaron Boone said Stanton has not begun running yet, which places him in the early phase of a typical calf-strain progression.
  • New York recalled infielder Max Schuemann from Triple-A to cover the roster spot and gave prospect Jasson Dominguez playing time, with Dominguez starting 1-for-9 in his first games.
  • Before the injury, Stanton, 36, was batting .256 with three home runs and 14 RBIs, a solid start colored by an injury history that has included elbow, hamstring, quad, ankle, and Achilles issues.
