Giancarlo Stanton Tests Health in Live BP Ahead of Wild Card Series

Giancarlo Stanton participated in a crucial live batting practice session at Yankee Stadium to prove his health and readiness for the Wild Card series against the Red Sox. Sidelined for over five months by three separate calf strains this season, the 36-year-old slugger took five plate appearances, ran the bases, and demonstrated he could play without discomfort, pushing for a potential roster spot as a right-handed pinch-hitter against Boston's lefty-heavy staff.
