The slugger has missed significant time due to a strained right calf in April and a recent strain in his left calf, which could keep him out for the season. This comes after a disappointing streak of missing 266 of 708 games across five seasons with the Yankees. The 36-year-old has faced numerous injuries throughout his career, including a bicep strain, knee injury, and hamstring issues. With a hefty contract worth $325 million, the slugger's long-term career prospects are now clouded by this latest setback.",
