Yankees’ Giancarlo Stanton exits early vs. Braves with hamstring tightness

Giancarlo Stanton left Saturday’s night’s game against the Braves with left hamstring tightness and will undergo imaging on Sunday, the Yankees announced.

The move came after Stanton doubled and scored in the bottom of the fourth.

He was pinch-hit for with Trent Grisham to lead off the bottom of the sixth and the Yankees leading, 4-1 in The Bronx.

The 34-year-old has stayed healthy this season, bouncing back from an ugly 2023 with 18 homers in 69 games.

Unlike in recent seasons, Stanton hasn’t played the outfield at all after spending the offseason getting leaner in hopes of avoiding the leg injuries that have plagued him much of the previous two seasons.

But now the Yankees only can hope Stanton won’t be out for an extended amount of time.
