The New York Yankees placed designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a right calf strain.
The move is retroactive to Saturday. The Yankees recalled infielder Max Schuemann from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take his place on the active roster.
Stanton last played Friday at the Houston Astros and left after the sixth inning when he experienced stiffness in the calf while running the bases. The Yankees have kept him on the bench since then while waiting to see how his calf responded.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after the team's 4-2 win at the Texas Rangers on Monday that an MRI revealed nothing more than a strain that didn't 'look too serious.'
The oft-injured Stanton, 36, was limited to 77 games for the Yankees last year due to injuries to both his elbows. The former National League MVP (2017, Miami Marlins) was batting .256 with three home runs and 14 RBIs through 24 games this season.
The Yankees had previously called up outfielder Jasson Dominguez from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and sent right-hander Luis Gil to Triple-A after he started Sunday's loss to the Astros.
The 23-year-old Dominguez, who played in 123 games last season, began 2026 at Triple-A and batted .326 with three homers, 15 RBIs and eight stolen bases in 24 games.
Schuemann, 28, had a fine spring for the Yankees after they acquired him from the Athletics in February. In 234 games across two seasons with the A's (2024-25), Schuemann has hit .212 with nine homers, 18 doubles, 47 RBIs and 21 steals.
In 2025 alone, Schuemann made starts at second base, third base, shortstop, left field and center field.
