NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is on the injured list for the fourth straight season. Stanton was placed on the 10-day IL with right ankle inflammation as the ailing Yankees made a flurry of roster moves less than an hour before their series finale against Baltimore. New York also put struggling reliever Jonathan Loáisiga on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation — the latest blow to a depleted bullpen that had shined most of the season. Joey Gallo was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list and started at designated hitter. Third baseman Josh Donaldson remained on the COVID-19 list, and All-Star infielder DJ LeMahieu was out of the lineup for the second consecutive night because of left wrist discomfort.
