Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge have both remained healthy this season, and unsurprisingly, have both been great.

One common concern was the team’s health, and especially that of its two most dangerous power hitters. Though the Yankees were expected to have one of the deepest lineups in baseball, the biggest of their many Big Boys were seen as injury risks: Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton each missed more than half the team’s games last season, and from 2018 through 2020, they appeared in the starting lineup together only 129 times in 384 regular-season team games.
The results of that experiment been a mixed bag: Corey Kluber has an ERA under four and threw a no-hitter but also spent three months on the injured list. Jameson Taillon, who is currently injured, shaved more than a run off his ERA in the season’s second half.
