The Yankees announced Wednesday they are placing Giancarlo Stanton on the injured list in a series of roster moves. They also put reliever Jonathan Loáisiga on the IL with a shoulder injury, and activated outfielder Joey Gallo off the COVID-injured list.
Stanton left Tuesday’s game vs. the Orioles after seemingly suffering the injury while swinging at a pitch in the dirt.
This is Stanton’s first trip to the injured list this season. He struggled to stay healthy between 2019 and ’20, playing a combined 41 games in two years. However, he played in 139 games last year and has stayed healthy up to this point in 2022.
