HOUSTON – AARON BOONE was talking about his playing plans for Giancarlo Stanton when he brought up the travel schedule of the Yankees with a touch of annoyance.
‘He and I will turn around the game tonight [Wednesday] and call somehow [Thursday]”Before the 8-7 loss of the Yankees, Boone said to the Astros on Wednesday in Daikin Park.
“It is clear that we come home late – again – go into the Toronto series. I will communicate a lot about it and we will try to do what is best for everyone.”
The Yankees start a crucial three-game series against the Blue Jays on Friday evening in the Bronx, but they did not receive favors from the Astros, who had planned the first Worp from 6:40 pm (local time) on Thursday for an escape match.
The Astros travel only to Arlington, Texas, for their weekend series, while the Yankees fly back to New York and land early on Friday morning.
It is not the first time this season that the Yankees were irritated by having a late outing for a big series – they arrived in Boston in the early hours of Friday morning in June after playing a Thursday evening match in Kansas City – but Boone knows that no one feels sorry for them.
“It is the routine of the season, honey. We will make the best of it,” he said. “I sometimes have a few conversations [with MLB]But you also understand that it is the nature of the beast and 162 games in 180 days, you will have a number of difficult schemes. But it doesn’t really matter, it makes no one. We are at that time in the season, we are in the stretch drive, we have to keep winning games. “
Austin Wells started for the ninth time at Catcher in 12 games on Wednesday, with his last four, the Yankees starts to give some hope that he might turn around to an extensive skid. After going 3-out-4 on Wednesday, he hit 8-out-19 with three home runs, three Doubles and a walk on his last five games after hit .127 (9-out-71) with a .449 OPS in 23 games before that.
“Enchanting,” said Boone. “I certainly went there for a few weeks, but I have had a number of large battlefits here lately. I feel that he gets some Bat-bat quality and results. Wise. That is something that helps him to catapult this month.”
In the sixth inning on Tuesday, Paul Goldschmidt made a diving stop on a ball and then ran to first beat Jose Altuve in the bag, but seemed to jam his knee and after the piece to be in some discomfort.
“He’s fine,” said Boone. ‘He was a bit painful [Tuesday] In general with the knee. But he’s fine. “
Goldschmidt missed two games with a sprained knee last month.
Austin Slater (Hamstringstam) started on Wednesday in the right field in his fourth rehabilitation match at Triple-A, but was able to return to the active schedule this weekend.
‘We can do it down there [Thursday] To get a few more days in a row, but I would expect him very quickly, “said Boone.
