The New York Yankees have placed Giancarlo Stanton on the injured list with a calf injury on April 30. The 36-year-old outfielder was sidelined with the injury.
Stanton has appeared in 24 games this season, batting .256 with three home runs and 14 RBIs across 90 at-bats. The veteran slugger has posted a .724 OPS while contributing one stolen base to the Yankees' offensive attack.
The injury is a blow to the Yankees, who currently lead the AL East with a 20-11 record. The team's roster composition shows four outfielders on the active roster, which will now be reduced with Stanton's placement on the injured list.
Stanton is currently tracking toward the 500 home run milestone, sitting at 456 career homers with 44 remaining to reach the historic mark. He is also approaching 1,000 career runs, needing 49 more to reach that plateau.
