Will Giancarlo Stanton Be Ready When Opening Day Arrives?

We don’t know when Opening Day will arrive because of the Corona Virus but when it does Giancarlo Stanton who is a left-fielder for the team that wears the pinstripes will be ready.

Why?

Because Major League Baseball pushed opening day back. “according to an article by Bryan Hoch on mlb.com

Hitting Coach Marcus Thames had this to say about New York’s left fielder. “according to an article by Bryan Hoch on mlb.com

“He looks good,” hitting coach Marcus Thames said on Wednesday. “He did some stuff inside and then we took a couple of rounds on the field, trying to space ourselves out, not touching the balls and all kinds of stuff.” “according to an article by Brian Hoch on mlb.com.

In 2019 he took 59 at bats , 8 runs , 17 hits , 3 home runs and 13 runs batted in. “according to https://www.mlb.com/player/giancarlo-stanton-519317

Why ? His season was decimated by injuries.

The left-fielder  strained his left biceps the first weekend of the season. While rehabbing from that, Stanton also dealt with a strained left shoulder and then, as he was beginning to rehab he strained his left calf. He returned to play six games before he jammed his knee running bases and missed 73 games before returning in September. “according to an article in the NY Daily News by KRISTIE ACKERT

And then he suffered a right quad strain during the ALCS, playing in just two games of that series that ended the Yankees season. “according to an article in the NY Daily News By KRISTIE ACKERT

Lets hope that Giancarlo Stanton can stay healthy this season.
