The New York Yankees are set to begin a three-game series with the Seattle Mariners at Yankee Stadium at 7:05 p.m. EDT on Tuesday.
Before Tuesday’s game, the Yankees got a new injury update on Giancarlo Stanton.

ESPN’s Jorge Castillo wrote (X): “Giancarlo Stanton is running the bases at Yankee Stadium. He’s been on the IL since late April with two right calf strains.”
In 24 games before landing on the IL, Stanton slashed .256/.302/.422 with three home runs, six doubles and 14 RBI.

When Stanton returns, it’ll be interesting to see how the Yankees use him. With the recent trade acquisitions of outfielder Heliot Ramos from the San Francisco Giants and first baseman Luis Garcia Jr. from the Washington Nationals, Boone may have some tough lineup decisions to make later in the season.
Stanton isn’t the only Yankees star sidelined with an injury, as outfielders Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger are both on the injured list.
