Giancarlo Stanton, the New York Yankees' star outfielder, did not play in Saturday's game against the Houston Astros due to tightness in his right calf, which he felt while running during Friday's match. Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated that they would assess Stanton's condition and consider placing him on the injured list if necessary. Stanton has struggled with injuries throughout his career, having not completed a full season since joining the Yankees in 2018. This season, he has a batting average of .256 with three home runs and 14 RBIs in 24 games.
