The New York Yankees‘ two sluggers have both succumbed to the injury bug this season, being placed on the 10-day injured list. With a majority of the team fighting to regain their place on the starting squad, arguably the Yankees’ best hitters remain sidelined with no return in sight.
Stanton was placed on the injured list after picking up a bicep injury but after healing, he suffered a shoulder burn which has kept him rehabbing. As to how he picked up an injury while not playing or training is mindblowing, but that seems to be the reality the Yankees are facing currently.
