Designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton, who continues to deal with tendinitis in both elbows, was one of eight New York Yankees players to be placed on the injured list Wednesday.
There is no clear timetable for the 35-year-old Stanton to return. He was bothered by elbow pain last season when he batted .233 with 27 homers and 72 RBIs in 114 games.
Infielder DJ LeMahieu, who suffered a left calf strain during a spring training game on March 1, also was put on the 10-day IL. LeMahieu, 36, batted .204 with two homers and 26 RBIs in 67 games last season.
Also going on the injured list were right-handers Clarke Schmidt (rotator cuff tendinitis), Jonathan Loaisiga (right elbow), Ian Hamilton (viral illness), Scott Effross (left hamstring strain), JT Brubaker (left rib fractures) and Clayton Beeter (right shoulder impingement).
New York also optioned right-hander Yerry de los Santos to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
