He is wearing a Giancarlo Stanton arm sleeve in solidarity with Stanton while heâ€™s injured. Turns out that Andres wore this same sleeve for the 205 days between when Stanton got injured last year and his return this yeah, so heâ€™s done this kind of thing before.â€ -- Will Reeve Andres Salgado getting his hair cut at the shaving ceremony that Reeve said will raise nearly $1,000 for Make-aâ€“Wish.
