Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton likely will be ready for game action late next week, though the team hasn’t determined whether he will go on a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment.
Stanton strained his left hamstring while running the bases June 22 and went on the injured list for the eighth time in six years.
“I just got to stack here a few more days, good days together,” Stanton said Saturday. “If I get a few good days this week, make a decision by the end of next week.”
He missed his 21st game of the season Saturday after being out for 266 of 708 games (38%) in the previous five seasons.
