NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton went on the injured list for the eighth time in six seasons on Sunday, a day after straining his left hamstring.
A 34-year-old former MVP, Stanton left Saturday night’s 8-3 win over the Atlanta Braves and was scheduled to undergo imaging Sunday. Stanton doubled off the center-field wall in the fourth inning and winced when he rounded third base on Gleyber Torres’ double. Trent Grisham pinch hit for Stanton leading off the sixth.
Stanton missed 266 of 708 games in the past five seasons (38%).
He appeared to be walking gingerly as he exited the locker room on Saturday night.
