Yankees place Giancarlo Stanton on IL, await MRI results

NEW YORK -- The Yankees placed Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

Stanton suffered the injury in the seventh inning of Saturday's 6-1 win over the Minnesota Twins. In his final at-bat of the game, Stanton laced a two-run double 403 feet to the deepest part of left-center field at Yankee Stadium before being replaced by a pinch runner.

Manager Aaron Boone said he did not see it immediately, but Stanton signaled to the Yankees dugout after feeling a tweak on his hamstring as he decelerated into second base.
