Baseball is a fast-paced and physically demanding sport, hence, making injuries an unfortunate yet inevitable part of the game. However much inevitable an injury can be, whenever it happens, it wreaks havoc on the entire team as they lose their crucial player. And now, after having played 15 games of the regular season, the MLB franchise New York Yankees has their designated hitter, Giancarlo Stanton, going on the injured list.

Apparently, Stanton has suffered a hamstring strain and left Saturday’s game after hitting a double against the Minnesota Twins. However, it seems like considering Stanton’s career in the Bronx, the Yankees fanbase, after having a good couple of weeks, was waiting for another shoe (injury update) to drop. 

New York Yankees fans are hurt 

Ever since Stanton signed the 13-year-long contract with the Bronx Bombers for $325 million, the designated hitter has suffered multiple injuries, stopping him from playing to his full potential. And a big star like Stanton, absent from the team even for a short while, has an adverse effect on the team. However, the team is not only the one that gets affected by losing such an important player but also the fans.
