Yankees place Stanton on IL with biceps strain

NEW YORK -- The hits to the New York Yankees' outfield depth keep coming.

One day after losing their season-opening series to the Baltimore Orioles, the Yankees announced Monday that they are putting outfielder Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list with a left biceps strain.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Stanton will be completely shut down for the next 10 days. After that, he'll be allowed to start his rehab.

"Hopefully we get him back at some point this month," Boone said.

Stanton is the third Yankees outfielder to go on the injured list this season, joining Aaron Hicks (lower back) and Jacoby Ellsbury (hip/plantar fasciitis).
