NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton could miss a few weeks because of tendinitis in his left Achilles.
Limited to one at-bat during the final two games of last weekend's series at Baltimore, the four-time All-Star was put on the 10-day injured list before Tuesday night's Subway Series opener at the New York Mets.
Asked whether Stanton will miss two or three weeks, Yankees manager Aaron Boone responded: “Ish — it could be shorter. We'll see.”
Stanton woke up sore Monday and asked the Yankees' training staff to schedule him for an MRI.
“It was right on the point he had talked about, where they found the tendinitis,” Boone said.
