Yankees Place Stanton on IL, Recall Domínguez

0:00It's April 28th. You're listening to MLB News Today, AI-powered baseball coverage. I'm Cory with the story. The Yankees just placed Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list with a low-grade strain in his right calf, backdated to April 25th after. He tweaked it running the bases. They recalled top-prospect Jason Dominguez to fill the designated hitter spot, and he win one for four in his season debut during last nights. Four-to-two win over the Rangers. Earlier this week, New York optioned struggling starter Luis Kill, leaving them with just 14 position players and 12 pitchers for a bit. On April 28th, they brought up infielder Max Schumann as the move for Stanton, but it's likely a one-day thing before recalling Elmer. Rodriguez to start Wednesday's game. Stanton's no stranger to the injured list. It's his first trip this year, but he's had at least one every season since 2018 and hasn't hit. 500 played appearances in five years.

1:00Still, he's off to a solid start at 256 with three homers and 96 trips, leading the league in bat speed and exivello. With Anthony Volpi expected back soon, the roster gets tricky. Jose Caballero shifts to utility, and they might not mess with Ben Rice crushing it in. First, base. Rando Gritchock's struggling at 194, so he could be on the DFA bubble over guys like Paul Goldschmitt. Schumann gets should lock down DH duties against varieties like Jacob DeGrom and Nathan Neovaldi, this series, giving the yanks a real spark while Stanton. Heels up over the next week or so.
