Giancarlo Stanton included on Yankees' roster for Wild Card Series

Giancarlo Stanton has been added to the New York Yankees' roster for the upcoming Wild Card Series against the Boston Red Sox. This comes after a challenging season for Stanton, who has not played since April 24 due to multiple calf strains. Despite his injuries, including three separate calf strains throughout the season, he is expected to serve as a pinch hitter against left-handers in the series. Yankees manager Aaron Boone had previously indicated Stanton's potential return as a possibility. Before his injuries, Stanton posted a.256 batting average with three home runs and 14 RBIs in 24 games this season.
