Five-time All-Star Giancarlo Stanton will miss four to six weeks after an MRI revealed a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, according to the Athletic.

Stanton was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday and the Yankees recalled top prospect Oswald Peraza in a corresponding roster move. But, the MRI showed that manager Aaron Boone will be without one of his top players for more than 10 days.

“He worked very hard to try and avoid these things,” Boone said Sunday about the slugger’s injuries. “But, unfortunately it’s something that’s happened with him.”

The injury occurred while Stanton was decelerating after hitting a double in Saturday’s win over the Minnesota Twins, according to Boone.

Stanton missing time due to injuries has become as common theme for the former MVP.

In 2019, the slugger played just 18 regular-season games while dealing with a myriad of injuries. Lower body injuries have plagued the 6-6 outfielder while he has been in pinstripes, as he missed games with a hamstring injury in 2020 and a quad strain in 2021.

Last season, Stanton missed 29 games due to left Achilles tendinitis. He also missed time last season with an ankle injury. He missed 52 total games last season.

Outfielders Willie Calhoun, Franchy Cordero and Aaron Hicks could see more opportunities with Stanton sidelined for at least a month.

Before going down with the hamstring injury, Stanton was slashing .269/.296/.558 with four homers and 11 RBI in 13 games.

The Yankees outrighted right-hander Colten Brewer off the Major League roster and onto the roster of Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The righty appeared in three games with the team, recording a 4.32 ERA in 8.1 innings pitched.

Brewer was acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for cash considerations in March. Brewer spent the majority of last season with Triple-A Omaha of the Kansas City Royals organization, going 1-1 with one save and a 4.76 ERA over 36 relief appearances.
