On Saturday afternoon, the New York Yankees tied up their series with the Toronto Blue Jays in Canada.
The Yankees won by a score of 3-1, and will look to take the series on Sunday afternoon.
Before the game, the team announced the latest update on Giancarlo Stanton.
The former MVP has been out of the lineup since April 24.
Greg Joyce of The New York Post wrote: “Giancarlo Stanton was initially expected back early on this upcoming homestand. That is now in jeopardy, Boone said, after he felt something in his calf while running recently. Stanton may go for more imaging to check if anything is up.”

When Stanton plays, he is still a very solid addition to the team’s batting order.
That said, he has had a lot of trouble staying healthy.
It’s worth noting that the Yankees are paying Stanton $19 million this season.
They are also on the hook for another $15 million in 2027.
