Stanton Could Return Before Playoffs | New York Yankees News

Giancarlo Stanton might not be done for the season after all—Yankees manager Aaron Boone is keeping the door open for a potential return before the playoffs, despite Stanton’s 116-game absence due to calf issues. Once sidelined in August on the 60-day injured list, his comeback hopes seemed dim, but recent comments hint at a possible late-season resurgence. Before injury, Stanton was hitting .256 with 14 RBIs and 3 homers in 24 games, and he’s still earning $29 million this year with lucrative future options. Meanwhile, the Yankees are thriving without him, holding an 8.5-game lead in the Wild Card race—and could use his power if he’s healthy enough to return.
