NEW YORK — The Subway series will be without one of its biggest stars.
Prior to opening their two-game set with the Mets on Tuesday, the Yankees placed Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list. The slugger has a case of left Achilles tendinitis. The move to the IL is retroactive to Sunday, July 24. Stanton last played on July 23 in Baltimore, striking out in a pinch-hit plate appearance. He did not get into the game at all for the series finale on the 24th.
“He wants to give me extra time,” Stanton said on Sunday of Aaron Boone giving him the day off. “I am just beat up a little bit overall.”
