Yankees Add Injured Giancarlo Stanton To Wild Card Roster

The New York Yankees have announced that veteran slugger Giancarlo Stanton will join their roster for the upcoming Wild Card series against the Boston Red Sox. Despite missing action since April 24 due to re-aggravated calf injuries, the 36-year-old participated in live batting practice on Monday to demonstrate his readiness. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed Stanton's inclusion after observing his improved performance during workouts. Although he played only 24 games in the 2026 regular season with a .256 average and three home runs, the team believes he can contribute in the postseason.
