Manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that the MRI on Stanton's right knee showed "no new injury," Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton exited Tuesday's game with a right knee contusion, a diagnosis confirmed by the MRI. While he's dealing with soreness and stiffness, he's experiencing no swelling and it doesn't sound like a move to the injured list is imminent at this point. The Yankees will instead see how his knee responds to treatment over the next couple of hours -- and possibly days, with the team's next game coming Saturday in London -- before making a decision regarding Stanton's status. In the meantime, Brett Gardner is starting in left field in his stead Wednesday.

Well, duh! Put him on the DL now so fantasy owners can bring up players for our dailies, Flea!
