Yankees move Giancarlo Stanton to 60-day IL, get Bryan De La Cruz

The New York Yankees moved designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton to the 60-day injured list and claimed outfielder Bryan De La Cruz off waivers from the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.

Stanton, 35, has been sidelined all season by tendinitis in both elbows. The five-time All-Star took batting practice with teammates last week for the first time this season, but the team does not have a timetable for Stanton's return to their lineup.

Stanton is in his eighth season with New York. Last season, he hit 27 homers and drove in 72 runs in 114 games.
