The Yankees placed Stanton on the 10-day injured list due to left hamstring strain on the 24th (Korea Standard Time). It was hoped that he would spend the full-time season playing in 69 of his team’s 79 games, but he could not avoid the injured list again this year.
Stanton hit a right double in the fourth inning against the Atlanta Braves on the 23rd, then homered and scored on Gleyber Lottes’ left double. However, he felt a hamstring pain while running home past third base, and was replaced by pinch hitter Trent Grisham in the sixth inning and missed the game.
MLBcom said Stanton will be out for about four weeks due to hamstring strain. “This is a minor injury,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. Stanton injured his hamstring in the same area last year, and had been on the injured list since April 17 before returning to the team on June 2. 토토사이트 추천
“My injury is not as serious as last year. I feel stuffy, but I want to look forward to it. My feelings are not important right now. It will take about four weeks (to return to the team), so I have to do what I can until then,” Stanton said, trying hard to hide his complicated mind.
This marks Stanton’s eighth time on the injured list in the last six years. He missed 266 games due to multiple injuries over the five years, including his right biceps in 2019, his posterior cruciate ligament in the knee, his left hamstring in 2020, his left quadriceps in 2021, his right ankle in 2022, his left Achilles tendon and his left hamstring in 2023.
Being injured was considered a constant as it became a “glass body” that often gets injured. In November last year, Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman said about Stanton, “Injuries are part of the game, and there is a high possibility of getting hurt again,” and Stanton and his agent Joel Wolf expressed displeasure.
Ahead of this season, Stanton has prepared something new in line with a program that focuses on cardiovascular exercise to prevent injury. The team also kept outfield defense and managed him as a designated hitter. When he was running on the base, he did not run as fast as possible to prevent injury to his lower body. He wanted to see if he was going to have a healthy season for the first time in a while, but his hamstring eventually caused trouble again.
Yankees starting pitcher Marcus Stroman said, “Stanton is having an amazing year. He was very consistent and well-timed. He was one of our team’s troubleshooters who showed strong performances in chances. We hope he is okay. I hope it’s not too serious an injury and I hope he comes back soon.”
Stanton has a batting average of 246 (64 hits in 260 at-bats) with 18 homers and 45 RBIs in 69 games this season. He has posted the best performance in the past three years, helping the Yankees rank first in the American League West (52 wins, 28 losses, and .650 wins).
Meanwhile, the Yankees called up outfielder Oswald Peraza without Stanton, but sent him back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barry Leiliders through a minor option after the game against Atlanta on Monday. In the meantime, the Yankees will post J.D. Davis, who was assigned to a transfer by the Oakland Athletics. The Yankees acquired Davis and gave up Jordan Grosions, a minor league infielder, to the Oakland Athletics.
During Stanton’s absence, the Yankees plan to widely utilize the designated hitter position. “We will assign several players to the designated hitter position. Aaron Judge will probably be assigned to the position more often,” Boone said. As Judge became the designated hitter in the game against Atlanta on Monday, Grisham came out as the starting center fielder. Grisham had two hits and one run from three times at bat in the ninth batting order on the day, but the Yankees lost to Atlanta 1-3.
