What The Fuck Is Going On With Giancarlo Stanton?

I want everyone to try and follow this circus that we’ve been dealing with in regards to Giancarlo Stanton’s injury situation. We’ll refer to the fantastic Lindsey Adler of The Athletic for this blog. If you don’t follow her, make sure you do she’s great.

Okay not the most ideal situation, but whatever it’s April just figure this out we’ll see you in like three weeks no biggie.

20 days later still doesn’t feel right. Well, that’s not great.

Okay hold on, we’re done with the biceps? That’s healed, but now we have a shoulder thing? A cortisone shot? Sweet.

Stanton could be back really soon?!? Great news!

LIVE AT BATS LETS GO!!!!

No one knows what’s going on.

The manager of the team has no idea what to say.

Very specific!

HOME RUN!

Yup, here comes! Stanton is about to join a lineup that is firing on all cylinders. The rich get richer!

OH WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS???

Of course Stanton was hit by a pitch and has a calf/knee injury. Why wouldn’t he? Good news is that it’s precautionary and he might play tomorrow. Not the end of the world.

And now Stanton is back on the IL with calf tightness? From getting hit by a pitch in the knee? I thought he was fine? What about the shoulder? What the fuck is going on? He’s shutdown 7-10 days after getting hit by a pitch? Something doesn’t add up. What are they hiding?

Fortunately, the Yankees are a freight train and it doesn’t matter who is in the lineup these days. The longer Stanton sits out the longer Clint Frazier will have to shine. It’s not the end of the world, as long as he’s back at some point. That being said, it looks like a lock that Didi Gregorius will beat him back to the team, and maybe Judge too. What a weird season it’s been for G. No one knows exactly what is going on but it’s not good.
