Many people around the MLB world claim that the New York Yankees feature a fairly thin lineup with the exception of Aaron Judge. But the fact is New York has plenty of talent when healthy. Unfortunately, injury concerns have loomed over the ball club in previous years. Recent injury updates on Giancarlo Stanton and DJ LeMahieu will excite fans ahead of the 2023 campaign, per The Athletic's Brendan Kuty.
“I'm told DJ LeMahieu looks great and is telling everyone he feels great as he works out in Tampa; ditto w/ Giancarlo Stanton as he does his offseason work,” Kuty wrote on Twitter.
Aaron Boone recently stated that LeMahieu could be in the Yankees' Opening Day lineup. This recent update on his pre-Spring Training status bodes well for his chances of seeing his name on Aaron Boone's lineup card to start the 2023 season.
Giancarlo Stanton is expected to be healthy in Spring Training. But he's only had one full healthy season over the past four years. Although Stanton was limited to just 110 games during the 2022 campaign, the Yankees' power hitter still made the AL All-Star team. But his numbers at the end of the year were a far cry from his former MVP-caliber days.
It wouldn't be surprising to see both Giancarlo Stanton and DJ LeMahieu rebound in 2023 if they can stay healthy. Their presences in the lineup would take pressure off of Aaron Judge as well.
We will continue to monitor and provide updates on the Yankees as they are made available.
