New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

A trip to the injured list is familiar for Stanton, who landed on the IL for the eighth time in six seasons.

Stanton extended his hitting streak to 10 games on Saturday after he hit a double to lead off the fourth inning against the Atlanta Braves.
