MLB: New York Yankees-Workouts
The New York Yankees continue to have health problems, a year after they set a major league record by putting 30 players on the injured list. The team says Slugger Giancarlo Stanton will likely miss opening day because of a strained right calf. The announcement came a day after the club said All-Star pitcher Luis Severino needed Tommy John surgery and would miss the entire season. Slugger Aaron Judge and lefty James Paxton already have been slowed this spring by injuries.
Giancarlo Stanton Grade 1 right calf strain. Boone: “he will be down a bit.” Made it sound unlikely he will be ready for the start of the season. #Yankees
