When the news broke that Giancarlo Stanton went down with a grade one calf strain, nobody was shocked. The New York Yankees have endured significant injury concerns over the last year, and they have continued into 2020 with starting pitchers Luis Severino and James Paxton both set to miss considerable time. Paxton will return in April, and Severino will miss the entire season after succumbing to Tommy John surgery.
However, these injuries present opportunities for reserve options and prospects in the minor leagues. One of the players that will benefit greatly from Stanton’s injury is Clint Frazier, who struggled defensively in 2019 but is ready to return in better form this year.
