Giancarlo Stanton Declares Himself Ready to Go for Yankees ALDS

New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton declared himself ready to contribute in any capacity for the AL Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays after missing the wild-card series. Stanton is returning from a remarkable comeback from three calf strains that sidelined him from late April until now. With Yankees manager Aaron Boone weighing roster decisions regarding pitching depth versus right-handed power, Stanton hopes to make an impact and erase a difficult regular-season injury layoff.
