Yankees News: Giancarlo Stanton Put on IL with Achilles Injury; Tim Locastro Recalled

New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton has been placed on the 10-day injured list with left Achilles tendonitis, per the team.

Outfielder Tim Locastro has been recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take his roster spot.

The 32-year-old Stanton already dealt with injuries this season, going on the 10-day injured list in May with a right calf strain. It was part of an injury-filled month for the Bronx Bombers.

While Stanton was also largely healthy in 2021, playing 139 games, he did miss 13 games last May with a quad strain. He was one of the few Yankees who managed to stay healthy in a historically beat-up season for the club.
