Story summary

In a rare interview session, Giancarlo Stanton told reporters on Friday that he is "ready to go" for the Yankees as they prepare for their AL Division Series against the Rays. However, manager Aaron Boone and the team are still deciding whether to include him in the roster due to recent calf injuries. The Yankees used 10 pitchers and only 16 position players during their wild-card series against the Red Sox but may need a larger pitching rotation for the best-of-five ALDS. Stanton was originally activated just before the wild-card series after missing time from late April due to three calf strains, raising questions about his readiness and necessity in upcoming games.
