After a blazing start of the season, the New York Yankees have suffered some major injury setbacks in their roster lately. First, Aroldis Chapman, then DJ LeMahieu, and now Giancarlo Stanton is the latest victim.

Notably, this is a crucial time for any MLB team in the league. And a team like the Yankees, who were running riots in their division, will suffer the most from the current injury situation. However, the severity of Stanton’s injury is still unknown. But he might not play the next few games for the Yankees.

The Yankees have already placed their star pitcher Aroldis Chapman on the 15-day injured list and replaced him with Kyle Higashioka. Though the Yankees won their recent game against the Orioles, they lost their three players to injury in the same series.

The latest injuries will be a colossal headache for the NY Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone. Reacting to Stanton’s injury, Boone sounded a bit off.

The Yankees’ manager said that they do not know the severity of the injury. “Not sure if it’s the calf if it’s part of the calf, or what. We’ll know more in the morning,” Boone said.
