Ahead of their series with the Cardinals, the Yankees announced the latest update on Giancarlo Stanton.
He has been out since April 24 with an injury.
MLB.com wrote (on August 3): “Has been hitting and faced live pitching Aug. 3 from Carlos Rodón, then jogged in the Yankee Stadium outfield. Was swinging the bat and made contact. May face Clarke Schmidt on Aug. 4.”
According to the site, Stanton could still return this month.

Here’s what people were saying on social media:
@FungoMLB: “IF Stanton returns… and IF he’s effective…. and IF everyone else stays healthy… I could see the #Yankees giving Garcia some reps at 3rd. His poor defense at 2B was due to poor range, not fielding effectiveness.”
@Keith_McPherson: “Unsubscribe me from all Giancarlo Stanton updates idc”
@BobbyMilone29: “Assuming Stanton is going to come back Where does Garcia Play?”

@rmny1976: “Don’t care he’s unreliable. Chances of him staying healthy and producing are about 1%”
