Yankees Place Stanton on IL With Calf Strain Sport By lines April 29, 2026 The New York Yankees placed Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Stanton suffered a low-grade right calf strain. Manager Aaron Boone announced the move before facing Texas. Boone Calls Strain Low-Grade as Domínguez Steps In Stanton exited Friday’s series opener in Houston after his calf tightened during a baserunning play. Stanton missed the next three games before the Yankees announced the IL placement. Boone said Stanton could return as soon as he is eligible. The Yankees promoted top prospect Jasson Domínguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to fill the roster spot. Domínguez went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in his Tuesday debut as designated hitter. New York entered Tuesday after a 4-2 series-opening win over Texas. Boone declined to set a firm timetable for Stanton’s return Tuesday. Stanton can resume play once the calf passes a baseball-activity test. Domínguez fills the DH slot until the Yankees activate Stanton.
