Yankees suddenly need Giancarlo Stanton like never before

BOSTON — All is forgiven, Giancarlo Stanton.

If any upside exists from the latest Yankees injury epidemic, it’s that folks need worry no longer about the damage the streaky Stanton can inflict upon his savage teammates.

Like so many victories in this wackadoo season, the Yankees’ 10-5 triumph over the Red Sox on Sunday night at Fenway Park came with a nasty surcharge.

Mike Tauchman, the previously little-known outfielder who had contributed so much, so surprisingly to the Yankees’ success — prompting many of his fellow players to wear “Sockman” T-shirts, on which a cartoon Tauchman flies while rocking a cape — left the game in the bottom of the fourth inning with what the team called a tight left calf and will undergo testing in New York on Monday.
