Yankees fans, apparently, aren’t the only ones frustrated with Giancarlo Stanton’s struggles to stay healthy over the years, as evidenced by recent comments made by Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.
Since joining New York via trade in 2017, Stanton, 34, has missed over 36% of his team’s games because of injury, including missing 61 in ’23. On Monday, Cashman, who’s been with the club since 1998, spoke with the media about the 15-year veteran’s woes, and offered candid remarks about Stanton being “injury-prone.”
“We’ve gotta get Stanton up and running again,” Cashman said during the GM Meetings in Arizona, per the New York Daily News. “He’s injury-prone. We all have lived and known that, but he’s never not hit when he’s playing, and this year is the first time that that’s happened.”
