Stanton sidelined for 10 days with hamstring injury

The New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton will miss the next 10 days with hamstring injury, the team announced on Sunday.

The 33-year old will be having an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.

“Let’s see what the MRI says,” manager Aaron Boone said.

“He’s moving around OK after the game but he definitely like it was before even getting the MRI that was an IL stint. We’ll see what we got.”

Stanton is no stranger to injuries as he was absent for the majority of the 2014, 2017 and 2018 seasons, and this is 5th consecutive season, troubled with some sort of injuries.

“Obviously he’s got an awesome build and physique,” Boone said when asked why Stanton gets injured 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. “

The four-time All-Star has a career .264 batting average with 382 homeruns and 928 RBIs.
