New York Yankees put slugger Giancarlo Stanton on 10-day injured list because of sore ankle

NEW YORK -- Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is on the injured list for the fourth straight season.

Stanton was placed on the 10-day IL on Wednesday as the ailing Yankees made a flurry of roster moves less than an hour before their 2-0 victory over Baltimore in the series finale.

Manager Aaron Boone later clarified the injury to the star's right lower leg was an inflamed ankle after the team had announced it was a strained calf strain.

"He is feeling pretty good," Boone said before the game.
