The number of New York Yankees players on the Injured List seems to be growing by the day. The latest Yankee to land on it is slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who will miss at least 10 days while dealing with ankle inflammation.

The Yankees confirmed the news on social media while also announcing that righty Jonathan Loáisiga is dealing with a sore shoulder and is placed on a 15-day injured list. The New York team previously saw pitcher Chad Green and Luis Gil needing season-ending Tommy John surgery while the All-Star closer went down with Achilles tendinitis.

The loss of Stanton might be particularly hard for the Yankees considering the form in 2022. The former NL MVP has been one of their best players and had a big contribution to the team’s MLB-best 31-13 record. The 32-year-old player hit .285 with 11 home runs and 35 RBIs this season.

Speaking with reporters on Thursday, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the team is optimistic that Stanton isn’t facing a prolonged absence.  

“So just feel like this is something that’s going to be short and feel like we should knock it out and not mess with it, and maybe it becomes something else,” said Boone. “So hopefully he got out in front of it a little bit and hopefully it’s just 10 days.”

Giancarlo Stanton is no stranger to injuries, having landed on the Injured List in each of the past four seasons. This included a biceps strain in 2019 that limited him to just 18 games in the 2019 season and a strained hamstring that saw him make 23 appearances in shortened 2020 campaign.

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is recovering from his calf injury as planned. According to Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone, Stanton would be ready for spring training games if they were to start today. 

Stanton was diagnosed with right calf strain last month and was initially doubtful for spring training. However, according to Boone, the All-Star slugger has been making encouraging progress in recent weeks.

“G is doing great,” said Boone in a recent interview with YES Network. “If we were to start spring training games up tomorrow, he’d probably be ready to go.”

Boone added that Stanton already got pretty close to being in the game shape: “He’s been doing really well, hitting now for a few weeks, but running pretty much at full speed outside and changing directions—doing pretty much all the things necessary to get into a game.”

Giancarlo Stanton wasn’t a contributor for Yankees last season, as he struggled with several injuries. He ended up playing only 18 games, in which he had .288 batting average with three homers and 13 RBIs. The year before, Stanton was hitting .266 with 38 home runs and 100 RBIs in his first season with Yankees.

Boone also provided updates on a number of other players, including the two-time All-Star outfielder Aaron Judge. After being ruled out for two weeks in early March due to stress fracture in his ribs, Judge is still weeks away from being in competitive form. The 27-year-old, however, is healing according to expectations and will be ready for the start of the season.
