Yankees hopeful as Giancarlo Stanton shows recovery progress

Yankees manager Aaron Boone provided a positive update on Giancarlo Stanton's recovery from a right calf strain. Stanton, who has been sidelined since April 27, is set to resume baseball activities this weekend. His return is especially critical as the Yankees face injuries to several key players, including Aaron Judge. While no official timeline for a return has been announced, a potential mid-to-late June activation is possible if recovery continues smoothly. The Yankees have gone 17-15 in Stanton's absence, but his power presence is essential, particularly as they navigate a challenging schedule against strong teams.
