Giancarlo Stanton hurt his hamstring running the bases on Saturday night and will undergo further imaging to determine the severity of the injury on Sunday.
“I’m not going to tell you he’s going to play every game next year because he’s not,” Cashman said in November. “He’s going to wind up getting hurt again, more likely than not, because it seems to be part of his game.”
“He’s in pretty good spirits considering it,” Boone said. “Hopefully, it’s not too significant, but yeah, obviously he’s dealt with these kinds of things in the past. Hopefully, it’s not something that keeps him down too long.”While the severity of the injury is still unknown — Stanton will have an MRI on Sunday — it’s safe to assume that this will result in a stint on the injured list.
It’s clear that the Yankees are bracing for an IL stint because they’ve already made their pick of who will replace Stanton on the active roster.. He probably would’ve made the Yankees’ Opening Day roster and could’ve been the starter at third base if he didn’t get shut down in spring training and miss the first few months of the season.
Peraza was one of four conceivable promotions when looking at the Yankees’ 40-man roster. There’s also infielder Jorbit Vivas and catchers Agustin Ramirez and Carlos Narvaez. Pereira hasn’t been moved to the 60-day injured list yet, so making room for any of those pieces — or even an Stanton was a real threat in the meat of the Yankees’ order, and losing that presence — his 18 home runs and his tremendous numbers with runners in scoring position — is a blow.
