Stanton’s IL stint is backdated to April 25 after he tweaked his calf Friday; Jasson Domínguez was recalled and debuted as designated hitter in the Yankees’ 4-2 win over the Rangers.
Manager Aaron Boone described the injury as low-grade, with Stanton expected to miss at least another week. The Yankees will likely recall a reliever as a corresponding roster move.
Stanton, who has not reached 500 plate appearances in five years due to injuries, started the season with a .256/.302/.422 line. Domínguez may fill the DH role while Stanton recovers.
