Overview
- Manager Aaron Boone said a comparison MRI showed the right calf strain is not worse yet still not healed enough to start a running program.
- Stanton has kept hitting in his rehab, though the Yankees have not allowed him to ramp up to high‑intensity work.
- He was hurt running the bases on April 24 at Houston and went on the injured list on April 28, retroactive to April 25.
- His near‑term availability for the Yankees–Mets Subway Series now looks doubtful based on the lack of clearance to run.
- New York has shuffled the lineup in his absence, with Jasson Domínguez called up and then injured and top prospect Spencer Jones promoted with limited early production.
