NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees have placed slugger Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list with left Achilles tendinitis. Stanton could miss a few weeks. The move was made before the start of the Subway Series matchup against the New York Mets at Citi Field and was retroactive to Sunday. Stanton is batting .228 with 24 homers and 61 RBIs for the AL East-leading Yankees. Stanton homered for the American League in last week’s All-Star Game at Dodger Stadium and was selected the Most Valuable Player in the AL’s 3-2 victory.
