He has a 4.91 ERA in seven outings for the RailRiders. Manager Aaron Boone has stated that Effross might return to the majors before the end of July.

10-Day/15-Day Injured List

DH Giancarlo Stanton (left hamstring strain).
Stanton is expected to return after the All-Star break. While he may not be ready for the opening game on July 19, manager Aaron Boone believes he will be “really close at that point.” Stanton has been doing hitting and baserunning drills, according to Boone.

According to Boone, the organization has not determined whether Stanton will be sent to the Minor Leagues for rehabilitation. Stanton only played one Minor League rehab game last year before returning to face major league pitching. Because Stanton would not be required to play on the field, he could practice using cutting-edge equipment like as the Trajekt pitching machine.

Stanton started treadmill workouts on June 27 and “did quite a bit of running” on July 9, according to Boone. Stanton suffered a left hamstring injury while jogging the bases against the Braves on June 22 and had an MRI on June 23. He was told he would be on the disabled list for four weeks and got a platelet-rich plasma injection on June 23. This is Stanton’s eighth trip to the IL in the last six years. Last season, he missed 43 games due to a left hamstring issue that occurred in April. (Last updated on July 14).
