For someone who missed over a month with a strained hamstring, Giancarlo Stanton has not lost a step.
The strong New York Yankees slugger returned from the injured list on Tuesday and went 0 for 4 with a walk despite some good swings. The oft-injured former MVP was in form, but just a non-factor in the Yankees’ 20-6 massacre of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Stanton didn’t play Wednesday so as to keep his legs fresh. As that old ditty goes, what a difference a day makes! Stanton returned as the DH on Thursday and had a game for the ages.
