He is wearing a Giancarlo Stanton arm sleeve in solidarity with Stanton while he’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 he’s done this kind of thing before.†-- Will Reeve Andres Salgado getting his hair cut at the shaving ceremony that Reeve said will raise nearly $1,000 for Make-a–Wish.
