Giancarlo Stanton Faces Live Pitching as He Nears Return from Calf Injury

New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton took a significant step in his recovery from a calf injury by facing live pitching from teammate Carlos Rodon on Monday. Stanton has been sidelined as the Yankees work to address offensive struggles caused by the ongoing absences of key players, including Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger. The team recently acquired Heliot Ramos to provide depth, but Stanton's return to the lineup remains a priority for the injury-ravaged Yankees offense.
