NEW YORK ā Disgusted that his body failed him again, often-injured Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton badly wanted to avoid going on the 10-day injured list after leaving a game in Houston two Fridays ago with a calf injury sustained while jogging from first to second base on a walk.
When that didnāt pan out, Stanton hoped for a quick return, maybe even after just 10 days.
Wednesday was day 12 and Stanton still hasnāt resumed even light running.
āI donāt know when the plan for him would be (to run),ā manager Aaron Boone said before the Yankeesā five-game winning streak ended with a 6-1 loss to Nathan Eovaldi and the Rangers.
Because Stanton has been on the IL multiple times with leg muscle injuries, is 36 and was hurt simply jogging, it seems logical the Yankees could be more patient in this situation, right?
āNo,ā Boone said. āBut that said, if itās not ready, itās not ready, so weāll wait.ā
Stanton was in the Yankeesā lineup for 24 of their first 26 games, hitting .256 with three homers, 14 RBIs and a .724 OPS.
The five-time All-Star and 17-year vet had a great start to the season, going 2-for-4 in each of the Yankeesā first five games, but he hit just .186 with 25 strikeouts in 76 plate appearances and a .579 OPS over his next 19 games.
When Stanton begins running, heāll have to work up to running hard and then running the bases. Best case, heās probably looking at a mid-May return that easily could be pushed back.
āHe knows where he is (physically),ā Boone said. āI wouldnāt say weāre being more patient or less patient. The injury will declare what weāre able to do and what heās able to do. And heās very honest with where heās at, too.
āEvery injury to every person is a little bit different, and we try to treat it as such.ā
