Giancarlo Stanton will join the Yankees tonight after missing 68 games with a variety of ailments and Aaron Judge should be back at some point later this week. As the injured Yankees return slowly and Edwin Encarnaci plays for the first time since the acquisition of Seattle, there will be some injuries in the lineup. The first, the young Clint Frazier, was demoted to the Triple-A post after Sunday's game. Chicago.

Late in the night from Monday to Friday, the Yankees announced that Mike Tauchman had an option and that the next opponent could be Cameron Maybin. Although his status within the team remains uncertain once the judge returned, the 32-year-old mate can at least console himself by knowing that he did his job and helped the team to take one of the best baseball starts.

After recording three more hits last night, Maybin hits .299 with a .375 OBP and these two numbers rank in the top 20 in the AHL since his Yankees debut (minimum of 120 appearances at the plate) . In addition, his circuit against Tampa Monday recorded an exit speed of 109.3 mph, the hardest of his career so far. It's also the first time in his career that he has ensured himself in three consecutive games.

Maybin, who has played 1,077 league games for nine different teams, is looking forward to being a Yankee and thinks the club can make a run in the playoffs. But as a veteran of eight different trades, including packages for future Hall of Famer Miguel Cabrera and the closest Craig Kimbrel, Maybin also understands the commercial side of the game.

"You know what you sign up for at a very young age, you understand that," Maybin told me in the Yankees' locker room. "For me, it's a thing where, at the trading deadline, someone always sees something, a value that allows you to follow the flow and stay ready to do what you love to do: play in baseball and help someone to win baseball games. . "

The San Francisco Giants signed a contract with Maybin in February, thinking he would be competing with Steven Duggar at the center. But he was arrested in early March for impaired driving and only hit 0.163 out of 43 in the spring. Maybin was released and signed with Cleveland, where he started the season with the Columbus Clippers, the Indian affiliate (Triple-A).

In 14 games of the International League, Maybin hit just .216 with five RBIs. However, it appeared that the Yankees had more than three healthy fields, including Tyler Wade, after a sprained ankle dropped Frazier on the list of injured. The Yankees bought him for financial reasons and the fast veteran was a pleasant surprise with his bat, but his biggest contribution goes to the baspaths – he ranks 18th among active players with 179 stolen bases in his career – and in defense, where he plays the three field spots.

"God is good, man," said Maybin. "I give him all the glory. I do a really good job taking care of my body. One thing I'm proud of is that I do not think I lost a stage at 32, I still run like a young man. I think it's just my preparation, my desire to keep trying to improve every season, to stay as athletic and fit as possible. "

After being selected as the 10th overall pick by Detroit in the 2005 draft, the failed prospect made his major league debut at age 20 in August 2007 and was the youngest player in the American League. In his second game, Maybin chose Roger Clemens for his first major league success. Starting at the fifth inning at the former Yankee Stadium, the rookie as thin as his first circuit at 45-year-old Clemens, who pierced him with a fastball during his next appearance on the plate .

"Yes, that's how the game was played at the time, at the time you could spread people and no one thought anything," Maybin says with a chuckle. "So, something I will never forget and then start with the old Yankee Stadium and be here now it's really cool to be on the other side."

As a true player of five tools, Maybin has not lived up to these expectations. But it's hard to call it a failure after having lasted more than ten years and raised more than $ 35 million. For life, Maybin is a career hitter .256 with 64 homers and 326 RBIs. He has collected a ring of the World Series in 2017 after being acquired by the Astros before the deadline for transactions and he considers that his last decision is a blessing.

"It's extremely pleasant. These guys have been very successful in creating an incredible atmosphere where guys are only concerned about winning, no matter what you have to do to help the team win and it's really refreshing, "said Maybin at about his stay in New York. "So, to come here put on the suspenders its peculiarity, man. When I wear this uniform, I feel a special feeling: I play in front of fans who are so invested, so on all the grounds, all the matches. As a child, these are the types of ambience you dream of playing, so I really feel that it's a blessing that my background has brought here and I'm looking forward to continue to help the team to do something special. . "

When the judge returns from the Supreme Court, Maybin could be on the move again. This prospect is old hat for Maybin. It has proven to be a valuable piece of the puzzle to help the Yankees get off to a good start, but he is prepared for whatever awaits him.

"I do not think it's difficult because you play a game you like to play, a game you've grown up to since I was 3, so it's still child's play for me," he said. Maybin. "I really enjoyed the challenges that come up and again, as I said, I'm very grateful for the journey I've had through baseball and all that it has brought . But I would not say pressure, I consider it a privilege more than anything. "
