On Monday Yankees skipper Aaron Boone had an interview with Meredith Marakovits of the YES Network and gave an injury update on the status of both Judge and Stanton. The update was very encouraging.
According to Boone if spring training were to pick up where it left off immediately Stanton would be healthy enough to return to action. He’s been out for almost a month with a Grade 1 calf strain that he suffered while doing outfield drills on February 26th.
In all likelihood, it would have caused him to begin the season on the IL if the season started on time.
