28 Apr
Summary
- Giancarlo Stanton underwent an MRI on his right calf for evaluation.
- He missed the final two games of the Houston series due to stiffness.
- Stanton has a lengthy injury history impacting his seasons.

The New York Yankees are anxiously awaiting the results of an MRI on slugger Giancarlo Stanton's right calf. Stanton did not feature in the starting lineup for the series opener against the Texas Rangers on Monday night, having already been sidelined for the final two games of their previous series in Houston due to calf stiffness. The five-time All-Star, who has a well-documented history of injuries since joining the Yankees in 2018, is currently hitting .256 with three home runs and 14 RBIs in 24 games this season.
Manager Aaron Boone indicated a decision on Stanton's status was expected Monday night, pending the medical evaluation. While Stanton has not been placed on the injured list, his ongoing health issues are a significant concern. The Yankees also recalled outfielder Jasson Dominguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to Monday's game. This move followed the optioning of pitcher Luis Gil to Triple-A after a difficult start to his season.
