On Friday evening, the New York Yankees will play the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Bronx (for the first of a three-game series).
The Yankees have been without Giancarlo Stanton since April 24.
Ahead of the game, manager Aaron Boone announced the latest on Stanton.
Chris Kirschner of The Athletic wrote: “Giancarlo Stanton has started a running progression, but they have no timetable on when he could return, Boone said.”
MLB.com also wrote: “Has resumed outdoor running after sustaining a new strain to the right calf while running bases in June at Yankee Stadium. Has undergone several PRP injections to speed healing.”
