The Yankees announced star designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is going on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Sunday. New York recalled Oswald Peraza from Triple A ahead of its series finale against the Twins in a corresponding move.
Stanton appeared to suffer the injury on Saturday after he went 1-for-4 at the plate. He was pulled for a pinch runner after hitting a double in the seventh inning. Willie Calhoun will serve as the club’s DH on Sunday.
Stanton has suffered repeated lower-body injuries over his career, including a calf strain in May 2022, a quad strain in May 2021 and a hamstring strain in August 2020. Manager Aaron Boone was asked why he thinks Stanton has been so susceptible to these type of injuries.
