Yankees to Make Decision on Giancarlo Stanton on Monday
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that the team expects to make a decision on outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) before the series opener on Monday versus the Texas Rangers, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. Stanton was pulled from Friday's series opener against the Houston Astros due to right-calf soreness, and he didn't play in the final two games of the series on Saturday or Sunday. The Yankees will decide on Monday whether Stanton will need a trip to the 10-day injured list, although that could be even more likely to happen now that outfielder Jasson Dominguez has been called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after a strong start to the season on the farm. The 36-year-old Stanton still has high-end power from the right side of the plate when he's healthy, but staying healthy continues to be an issue for the former MVP and five-time All-Star. Stanton should be stashed in fantasy leagues if he goes on the IL. In his first 90 at-bats, he's hitting .256 (23-for-90) with three home runs, 14 RBI, eight runs scored, and one stolen base.
