"Stanton, 36, is out to a .256/.302/.442 start with three homers through his first 96 trips to the plate. It's not his typical level of production, but Stanton's 30.2% strikeout rate - while still way higher than the 22.2% league average - is down from last year's 34.2% mark."
"If Stanton heads to the injured list, the Yankees can use the vacant DH spot to get Dominguez some at-bats and perhaps get partial days off for the outfield trio of Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham."
"There could be other roster machinations in the works, too. Shortstop Anthony Volpe, who's spent the first month of the season on the injured list while finishing off rehab from shoulder surgery, is expected to return this week."
Giancarlo Stanton has been sidelined from the Yankees' lineup due to right calf discomfort. A decision regarding his potential injured list stint is expected soon. Stanton's current performance shows a .256 batting average with three home runs, and while his strikeout rate has improved, it remains above league average. If placed on the injured list, Jasson Dominguez could fill the designated hitter role. Additionally, shortstop Anthony Volpe is anticipated to return from injury this week, potentially leading to further roster adjustments.
