    Stanton questionable for opening day following calf injury

    In yet another bit of unwelcome injury news for the Yankees, manager Aaron Boone told reporters Wednesday that Giancarlo Stanton sustained a calf injury while working in the outfield yesterday (Twitter link via Joel Sherman of the New York Post). Stanton has already undergone an MRI, which revealed a Grade 1 strain in his ailing right calf. Boone suggested that Stanton will “be down for a bit” and implied that the slugger could miss time early in the season.

    This injury is very indicative of stress on muscles due to steroids and HGH.

    Albatross contract. With 7 more years to go after this one.

    Also, the Yankees are toast before the season even starts.

    Nah, this actually works in their favor: now they can play Tauchman, a much better all-around play-- wait, Beltran's not there this year to tell him what pitch is coming!

    At this point, if you can keep him healthy enough to DH it'll be a plus.

    This could be a blessing in disguise. I don’t like Stanton in the cold of March in the north. That’s what got him last year. We have Andujar, who outhit him in 2018, and doesn’t have a position. Now he does

    so it looks like i was dead wrong on Giancarlo. i wanted the Sox to get him. badly. so glad he will spend the next 7 years on the yankees IL instead of Sox....
    this one may end up in the running for "worst baseball contract ever".....

    He’ll be back. We will just have to deal with him being a JD Martinez type DH with frequent IL trips. So be it
