While Boone didn\u2019t officially rule him out for the season, a return remains unlikely considering the impending postseason and the Yankees\u2019 depth at the DH position.

Since joining the Yankees via trade in 2018, the former National League MVP has missed 558 regular-season games due to various injuries. Only twice has he played 115 or more games: 2018 (158) and 2021 (139).<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Stanton missed 144 total games due to a left bicep strain and right knee sprain. The following season, he missed 37 games due to a left hamstring strain. In other words, he played fewer games in 2019 (18) than he did in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season (23).<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, 2021 saw him play in 139 games, as the 17-year veteran missed two weeks in May with a right quad strain. However, that health was short-lived, as Stanton missed 52 games in 2022 with right calf inflammation and left Achilles tendinitis.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023 and 2024, Stanton missed a combined 109 games with a left hamstring strain. He also missed the first 70 games of the 2025 season due to elbow inflammation, an injury that ultimately lingered into spring training of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>He began the 2026 season healthy and excelled, recording multiple hits in the first five games of the season. However, in an April contest against the <a href=\"http:\/\/portrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/astros\">Houston Astros<\/a>, Stanton reinjured his left hamstring. He landed on the IL, where he&#8217;s been since.<\/p>\n<h3>Stanton&#8217;s Questionable Future<\/h3>\n<p><a id=\"wvRCHoaPS4Nhql6mw5n7Rg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2182014089\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'wvRCHoaPS4Nhql6mw5n7Rg',sig:'5JaBxcXSv_Y9VGR_QOqi0WGHRToBfCAT1ynYBrCugJU=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2182014089',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>While Stanton\u2019s 2026 season looks questionable, so does his Yankee tenure. 2027 represents the final guaranteed year of Stanton\u2019s 13-year, $325 million contract he signed with the <a href=\"http:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/marlins\">Miami Marlins<\/a> in 2014.
