Giancarlo Stanton Out with Quad Injury; Yankees Hope He'll Return During ALCS

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton's status for the remainder of the American League Championship Series is in jeopardy because of an injured leg.

Per MLB.com's Bryan Hoch, Stanton will miss Game 2 against the Houston Astros with a quadriceps injury. Yankees manager Aaron Boone noted he's hopeful the slugger will return at some point in this series.

Per NJ.com's Brendan Kuty, Boone said Stanton hurt his quad running to first for a single in the second inning of Saturday's 7-0 win. He remained in the game, finishing 2-for-4 and hit a solo home run in the sixth inning.
