The New York Yankees can’t afford to lose any more players to injury, but the hits just keep on coming. With the starting rotation and bullpen already shredded to pieces, the batting order is now set to make a significant change, with Giancarlo Stanton likely heading to the injured list with a pulled hamstring, according to the MLB Network.
Following a double during Saturday afternoon’s game, Stanton jogged off the field and right into the dugout, raising a few alarms but nothing too concerning. Most believed the Yankees just wanted him off the bases so they could pinch run with a more athletic player since their star slugger wasn’t likely to get another at-bat.
