Yankees' Stanton again goes on the injured list

New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton went on the injured list for the fourth straight season.

He was placed on the 10-day IL with a strained right calf Wednesday.

New York also put struggling reliever Jonathan Loáisiga on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

The 32-year-old Stanton left Tuesday night’s 7-6, 11-inning win over the Orioles in the seventh and had an MRI on Wednesday. He is hitting .285 with 11 homers and 35 RBIs.

Stanton played in 139 games last year, his highest total since 2018, and batted .273 with 35 homers and 97 RBIs. He was out from May 17-28 with a left quadriceps strain.

New York acquired Stanton, the 2017 NL MVP with Miami, from the Marlins before the 2018 season and he hit .266 with 38 homers and 100 RBIs during his first season in pinstripes.

He was sidelined from April 1 to June 18 in 2019 with a left biceps strain, then from June 26 until Sept. 19 with a sprained right knee. During the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, he was sidelined from Aug. 9 until Sept. 15 with a strained left hamstring.

ROCKIES' BRYANT BACK ON IL » Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant’s balky back has him on the injured list for the second time this season.

The move is retroactive to Monday, when Colorado initially held Bryant out of the lineup with back soreness. He sat out Tuesday against the Pirates and with symptoms lingering, put him on the IL.

Bryant, signed to a sevenyear, $182-million deal with Colorado in March, spent nearly a month on the injured list after initially tweaking the back in late April.

He returned to the lineup last weekend against the New York Mets before complaining of soreness.
