The Official New York Yankees Thread

“DH Giancarlo Stanton ripped a missile of a double during Saturday’s 6-1 win over the Twins, but he left the ballgame after pulling into second base amid ballpark-wide confusion about the hit not sailing over the fence.”

That’s because he was walking out of the box and had to hustle into 2nd. He should be banned from “running” anyways - nothing but light jogging around the bases.
 
Stanton is awfully fragile. Should have put a clause in his contract where he gets paid a percentage of salary based on number of games he actually played.
Both fragile and bad luck. He's missed significant time due to being hit by pitches (one in the face, one in the hand).
 
Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Shut down from throwing

Rodon has already undergone some testing on his back, which came back normal, but he'll also have a CT scan just to be safe. The Yankees still believe the back problem to be minor issue, though it will push back the left-hander's return timetable. Once he faces live hitters -- which could come right after the shutdown period -- Rodon is expected to be about a month away from action, which means he probably won't make it back until at least the latter part of May.
