Aaron Boone Says Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton Could Return for Yankees' Next Homestand
By Sean Facey
At long last, the return of the New York Yankees' star sluggers is on the horizon.
Manager Aaron Boone said that Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton could return in time for the team's next homestand.
Aaron Boone just told Michael Kay on @TMKSESPN that there’s a chance both Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton will both be back by the team’s next home stand. The Yankees will be back in the Bronx on Monday

The team has been without the two Bronx behemoths for quite some time, and though they've fared well in their absences, there's no denying they'd love to have them back.
Stanton has played in just three games this year and has had to deal with multiple setbacks since he first landed on the injured list with a biceps strain.
Judge has also had his fair share of trouble in recovery. He hasn't played since April 20 when he suffered a strained oblique.
Luke Voit wouldn't mind being in the HR Derby: "Oh, I'm in. Let's go. 100 percent.'' Already has a BP pitcher at home that he'd bring to Cleveland.

Aaron Judge could be ready to play in games by the weekend, Giancarlo Stanton begins Tuesday. Nothing yet on German, Betances MRIs.
Judge and Stanton have a combined 104 plate appearances this year. To think the Yankees have managed a 41-24 record to this point and are tied for the division lead in the AL East is mind-boggling.
They're two of the hardest hitters in baseball, and it's scary to think how much better the Yankees could perform once they make their returns.
