Stone Garrett was in the midst of a mini-slump (0 for 9) at the plate, but on a run overall in August (16 for 50, six doubles, two home runs, .320/.379/.560 line in 16 games and 60 plate appearances) when he suffered a season-ending ankle injury on a play at the wall in right field in Yankee Stadium on August 23rd.
“He’s been unbelievable,” manager Davey Martinez told reporters of the run Garrett was on after he’d suffered the injury in NY.
