Brian Cashman spoke to the media today as the Yankees are spending their first day in London. The news wasn’t good.
When will Giancarlo Stanton (knee) be back? Brian Cashman didn’t want to say. But pressed, he said: “safer to say the sweet spot would be August.”
Stanton’s PCL strain is going to keep him out another month-plus. If we see Stanton back in the lineup on August 1 — which might even be aggressive considering August is the “sweet spot” — that means Stanton will have missed about 90 of the teams’ first 100 games.
