"Giancarlo Stanton's recent trend of soft-tissue leg injuries has cropped again, and now the veteran slugger is headed to the IL. The Yankees announced late Monday night that they were placing Stanton on the 10-day injured list with a low-grade calf strain."
"Stanton suffered the injury during Friday night's game against the Houston Astros while jogging between first and second base. He is the third prominent New York star to go down with a calf injury."
"Stanton, 36, was batting .256 with a .724 OPS, three home runs, and 14 RBI. His role was already set to be diminished as he continues managing the pain from the double tennis elbow issue he ran into last season."
Giancarlo Stanton has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a low-grade calf strain after suffering the injury while jogging during a game. Manager Aaron Boone indicated the injury is not serious but requires caution. Stanton is the third New York player to experience a calf injury recently. He was batting .256 with three home runs and 14 RBI before the injury. Jasson Dominguez has been recalled to fill the designated hitter role in Stanton's absence.
