New York Yankees right fielder Giancarlo Stanton reportedly is headed to the 10-day injured list with a hamstring injury.
There was no official word from the team early Sunday, but multiple media outlets said Stanton was scheduled to have an MRI.
The reports also said middle infielder Oswald Peraza had been called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and was in the clubhouse ahead of Sunday afternoon’s game against the visiting Minnesota Twins.
Stanton, 33, is batting .269 with four home runs and 11 RBIs through 13 games. He shares the team RBI lead with outfielder Franchy Cordero.
A five-time All-Star and former National League MVP, Stanton is a career .264/.353/.537 hitter with 382 home runs and 982 RBIs in 1,447 games with the Florida/Miami Marlins (2010-17) and Yankees.
Peraza, 22, is batting .289 with four RBIs and five stolen bases in nine games this season in Triple-A.
He hit .306 (15-for-49) last season in 18 games with the Yankees.
