New York Yankees fans shocked as Giancarlo Stanton added to Injury List once again: "Dude can walk to first base and strain his hamstring"

Giancarlo Stanton has been placed on the 10-day injury list after sustaining a hamstring injury. The New York Yankees haven't announced a timeline for his return, but ESPN reported that he is expected to be out for several weeks.

Stanton has been a pivotal figure for the New York Yankees since being traded to the team after a 50 home-run season with the Miami Marlins back in 2017. The 33-year-old has had his fair share of injuries in New York. The Yanks have used Stanton as a designated hitter for this very reason, not overworking him in any way.

Stanton suffered his latest injury setback in Saturday's doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins. Having already homered in the game, Stanton was looking to tie the score in his fourth at-bat. Scampering through to second base, the 2017 National League MVP appeared to pull up and was taken off for a pinch runner.

The New York Yankees management has experimented with Stanton in the outfield this season, but his primary role remains as a designated hitter. Oswald Peraza has been called up to the 40-man roster in his place. DJ LeMahieu is expected to replace Stanton as the DH.

Fans took to Twitter to express their unhappiness at seeing another star player get injured.

Giancarlo Stanton plagued by injuries at the New York Yankees

The list of injuries is growing for Giancarlo Stanton, who has failed to remain healthy for an entire season with the Yankees since 2018.

Lower-body injuries have limited Stanton's time and he has played only 290 out of a possible 546 regular-season games. He got an All-Star nod last season, despite playing in 110 games and being on and off the roster with ankle and Achilles trouble.
