since spring training and has live at-bats “on the horizon,” manager Aaron Boone said before Sunday’s series finale against the Colorado Rockies.“I feel like he’s been doing well now for a while, so getting him built up will be just the next key,” Boone said.
The 35-year-old Stanton started this season on the injured list after hitting .233 a year ago with 27 homers and 72 RBIs over 114 games.Boone wasn’t sure whether Stanton might need a rehab assignment before his return or if the live at-bats might be enough.“He’ll certainly be part of that,” Boone said of the conversations over his next steps. “We’ll figure out what’s best. Just want to make sure that he’s kind of game ready when he comes (back). Obviously that looks a little bit different for him, in that he’s not playing the field. But you still want to get him built up properly, and give him somewhat of a spring training simulation even though, again, his looks different than most guys.”
Will Stanton have to mange the pain?“I think he’s been feeling good,” Boone said. “So, yeah, not quite sure how to answer that. I mean, there may be times in the year where it’s sore or whatever.”
Infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. has been “doing pretty well,” Boone said, in his recovery from a right oblique strain.
“Hopefully be in line this week for live (at-bats) or rehab,” Boone said.Aid groups have been pushing back on the GHF and Israel’s plans to take over the handling of food aid, saying it could forcibly displace large numbers of Palestinians by pushing them toward the distribution hubs and that the foundation doesn’t have the capacity to meet the needs of the Palestinians in Gaza.
It’s also unclear who is funding the GHF, which claims to have more than $100 million in commitments from a foreign government donor but has not named the donor.The letter says that GHF’s Wood was on a call with the CEOs of six aid groups discussing the new plans, including Save the Children, International Medical Corps, Catholic Relief Services, Mercy Corps, CARE International and Project HOPE.
Rabih Torbay, head of Project HOPE, confirmed the call and said his organization was encouraged to hear that the delivery of medicines and other non-food items would continue under the current system.Still, Torbay appealed for food aid to be allowed into Gaza without “obstruction or politicization.”
