New York Yankees put Giancarlo Stanton on IL

After an injury-plagued 2019 season, Giancarlo Stanton is heading to the injured list for the first time in 2020. The slugger experienced tightness in his left hamstring when the New York Yankees played the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday.

“I’m hurting for him,” manager Aaron Boone said via Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. “I know what he’s done to be here. His play speaks for itself. Hopefully, it’s something that doesn’t end up keeping him down too long.”

“I think he felt it when he got [to second base],” Boone later added.
