New York Yankees Place Trent Grisham on IL; Stanton's Return Delayed

The New York Yankees have placed outfielder Trent Grisham on the 10-day injured list due to a strained right hamstring. This move comes as the Yankees prepare for a six-game homestand against the Chicago White Sox and Cincinnati Reds, starting Monday in the Bronx. Manager Aaron Boone announced the decision on Saturday, highlighting the necessity of the IL stint for Grisham, who has been a key contributor with a batting average of .232, eight home runs, and 35 RBIs this season. Grisham left Friday's game against Toronto after experiencing discomfort while running the bases. Boone expressed hope that the injury is not long-term but emphasized the need for caution. Meanwhile, Giancarlo Stanton's return to the lineup is also in jeopardy due to soreness in his right calf, which he felt while running the bases earlier in the week. Stanton has been sidelined since April 24 and may require imaging to assess the injury further. The Yankees are currently dealing with multiple injuries, including those to Aaron Judge, Austin Wells, and pitcher Max Fried. In a bit of good news, Jasson Domínguez has been activated off the injured list and is expected to start in right field after recovering from a left shoulder injury. Boone remains optimistic about the team's depth despite the injury setbacks.
