As the MLB trade deadline approaches on August 3, the New York Yankees are beginning to search for options to fill the hole of their current injured superstars.

Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Carlos Rodón are several of Yankees down with injuries.

Stanton’s return has been weary since he hit the injured list at the end of April with a calf strain, and manager Aaron Boone is beginning to grow frustrated with his return timeline.

New York Yankees Manager Aaron Boone is Frustrated With Reporters Asking About When Giancarlo Stanton Will Return​

Both Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton joined the New York Yankees on their roadtrip to face the Chicago White Sox this week. Ahead of their game on July 29, manager Aaron Boone was asked about what the delay is on Stanton’s injury.

“He just needs to get to a level intensity-wise with the running,” Boone said of Stanton. “So, you don’t need to keep asking me. He’s running. When it gets really close to like, ‘OK, he’s getting close to being in a game’ or something, we’ll let you in. It’s not there yet.”

Boone on where Stanton is at: "He just needs to get to a level intensity-wise with the running. So, you don't need to keep asking me. He's running. When it gets really close to like, 'OK, he's getting close to being in a game' or something, we'll let you in. It's not there yet."

Per Yankees beat writer Gary Phillips, the Yankees initially hoped that Stanton would not need to go on the IL because of his calf injury. However, that was three months ago and two calf strains later.

While the Yankees never listed what grade Stanton’s calf strain is, it was presumed to be a minor injury or a Grade 1 strain.

In the lastest update on the Stanton’s progression, Boone said Stanton has undergone PRP injections to speed up healing, but their is no return timetable.

“[Stanton] has resumed outdoor running and undergone several PRP injections to speed healing,” per the Yankees injured and transaction list. “Not yet running bases. No timeline for a rehab assignment. ‘Continuing with his running progression’ and performing strength exercises in weight room as of July 27, manager Aaron Boone said.”
