The Yankees and Aaron Boone were willing to take Giancarlo Stanton’s lack of speed to limit his injury risk and get him through the regular season.
The oft-injured Stanton, who has dealt with calf, hamstring and quad issues over the past five seasons, may have cost the Yankees a pair of runs in Sunday’s win over Kansas City, when he was unable to score from first on Oswaldo Cabrera’s double to right-center or beat out a chopper to third with Juan Soto on third to end the sixth.

“He’s got to do what he’s got to do,’’ Boone said. “He’s trying to get to what is his top speed in a fluid way, as best he can.” His 5.07 seconds to first base during the regular season was the slowest of his career and the third-slowest in the majors, trailing only catchers Ali Sanchez and Yasmani Grandal.
