New York Yankees Giancarlo Stanton (34) was placed on the injured list.
On the 17th (Korean time), MLB.com, the official major league media, said, “Stanton hit a double in the last game and grabbed his left hamstring while running. Stanton, who entered second base, motioned for a runner, and he told manager Aaron Boone that he was unlikely to play for the time being. He was placed on the 10-day injured list that day.”
Stanton, who signed a 13-year, $325 million (approximately 424.8 billion won) contract in November 2014, is a major league home run hitter who hit 382 homers in his career. However, he suffered from frequent injuries every year. Last season, he struggled with an injury and recorded a batting average of .201 in 110 games (84 hits in 398 at-bats), 31 homers, 78 RBIs, and an OPS of .759. ) 4 home runs, 11 RBIs, and an OPS of .854, starting well, but an injury again hindered him.
MLB.com said, “Stanton will undergo an MRI scan to determine the severity of the hamstring injury.”
“Stanton had no problems moving after the game,” Boone said. But before he had an MRI scan, he felt like he definitely needed to be put on the disabled list,” Stanton said. He went on to say, “He never deserves to be on the injured list. I know he’s really disappointed. But it’s a good opportunity for the prospects we’re certain of. And injured players will return in days or weeks. We have to persevere,” he added.
The Yankees called up Oswald Peraza in place of Stanton. Ferraza, along with Anthony Volpi, the team’s top prospect, is considered the Yankees’ key shortstop prospect, and was evaluated as the third best prospect on the team by MLB.com. Also, Josh Donaldson started his rehabilitation game and spurred preparations for his comeback. 메이저사이트
MLB.com said, “Stanton suffered from lower body injuries for a long time. Left Hamstring (August 10-September 15, 2020), Left Quadriceps (May 18-29, 2021), Right Ankle (May 26-June 5, 2022), Left Achilles (2022) July 27-August 26, 2018) was placed on the disabled list due to an injury,” Stanton explained.
Director Boone said, “Stanton has great physical condition. He played baseball very hard and tried to avoid these injuries. But unfortunately, this happened again,” he regretted.
