Yankees manager gives update on Giancarlo Stanton before Rays finale

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone provided an update on Giancarlo Stanton ahead of Thursday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium. Stanton, who has been on the injured list since late April due to a right calf strain, is reportedly making progress. Boone stated that Stanton and teammate Trent Grisham are both "trending in a good way" in their rehab processes. Stanton participated in batting practice before the game, suggesting he may be nearing a return. Boone indicated earlier this week that Stanton is "knocking at the door" for a comeback, raising hopes he could return in time for the postseason after a setback from a second calf strain last month.
