Despite the New York Yankees capturing a much-needed win, Monday also came with an unfortunate Giancarlo Stanton<\/a> injury update<\/a>: his progress is not on schedule.<\/p>\n

In recent years, July has been the month in which the New York Yankees tend to struggle the most, and that is putting it lightly. Injuries are usually one of the main culprits behind what has been dubbed by fans as the annual “June swoon<\/a>“, though the month in which Yankee fans are at their most miserable is probably July. Before Monday’s 5-1 win in their series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays, the Yankees had won just three out of their last 15 games. Even if they sweep the Rays in this four-game set, New York would only be tied with Tampa Bay for first place in the AL East.<\/p>\n

Giancarlo Stanton Injury Update<\/h2>\n

Manager Aaron Boone<\/a> informed the media that Stanton has not started running, which is the first step of rehabbing a calf strain. The 36-year-old strained his calf in late April and hasn’t appeared in a game in over 10 weeks. Before going on the injured list, Stanton was slashing .256\/.302\/.422 with 14 RBI in 24 games.<\/p>\n

Giancarlo Stanton (calf) remained in New York and has not resumed running since his recent setback, Aaron Boone said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been listening to the body,\u201d said Boone, who added that he does expect Stanton to return at some point this season.<\/p>\n
