Yankees place Stanton (hamstring) on 10-day IL

The New York Yankees placed Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain, the team announced Sunday.

Stanton was replaced by a pinch runner after hitting a two-run double in the seventh inning of Saturday's 6-1 win over the Minnesota Twins.

Manager Aaron Boone said Stanton would have an MRI on Sunday to determine the severity of the injury.

"Let's see what the MRI says," Boone said before Sunday's game against the Twins. "He's moving around OK after the game, but he definitely like, before even getting the MRI, that it was an IL stint. We'll see what we got."

Since 2011, Stanton has been on the injured list in all but the 2014, 2017 and 2018 seasons, and this is his fifth straight season with some type of injury.

Last year, he missed more than a month because of tendinitis in his left Achilles; the Yankees were 11-17 with him out. Earlier in the 2022 season, Stanton missed nine games with right ankle inflammation. In 2021, Stanton played 139 games, his highest total since 2018, but also missed time with a left quadriceps strain.

"Obviously he's got an awesome build and physique," Boone said when asked why Stanton gets hurt so frequently. "He works very hard to try and avoid these things, but unfortunately is something that's happened with him. So I don't know. "

In a corresponding move, the Yankees called up infielder Oswald Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Boone told MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that they could use Peraza until third baseman Josh Donaldson (hamstring) is ready to come off the injured list later in the week.

Donaldson is set to play a rehab game Tuesday with Double-A Somerset, Boone told reporters.

Stanton, 33, is batting .269 with four home runs and 11 RBIs through 13 games. He shares the team RBI lead with outfielder Franchy Cordero.

A five-time All-Star and former National League MVP, Stanton is a career .264/.353/.537 hitter with 382 home runs and 982 RBIs in 1,447 games with the Marlins (2010-17) and Yankees.

Peraza is batting .289 with four RBIs and five stolen bases in nine games this season in Triple-A after losing the spring training shortstop competition with Anthony Volpe.

The 22-year-old Peraza hit .306 (15-for-49) last season in 18 games with the Yankees.

The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.
