Here are two players the Yankees need to get going ASAP if they have any hopes of making a deep postseason run with or without Didi.
Giancarlo Stanton
Whether Didi gets cleared to play in the playoffs or not the Yankees need last year’s NL MVP to start playing like one as he prepares to experience his first taste of postseason baseball. The last six weeks and the month of September especially have not been too kind to Stanton and it’s hard to understand.
When Aaron Judge first went down with his injury back at the end of July it was Stanton who stepped up big time to carry the load with his power bat.
