Fans would see the Yankees star leave Friday\u2019s 12-4 win over the Houston Astros in the sixth inning due to lower leg tightness, as manager Aaron Boone gave some insight into the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the win, Boone would say it\u2019s more so in the calf that there\u2019s tightness, expressing how the 36-year-old didn\u2019t want to push it, motioning to the manager to get taken out of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, just that some tightness in his calf. Hopefully we got ahead of anything serious So, but we\u2019ll just see where he\u2019s at tomorrow,\u201d Boone said, according to MLB.com.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe just motioned to me when he was on base, and then I don\u2019t think he didn\u2019t want to push it. He felt it when he was out at second,\u201d Boone continued.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Yankees dominated the Astros, despite Giancarlo Stanton\u2019s injury<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While fans await any further updates on Stanton and if he will have to miss any time, the Yankees played well without the star, dominating the Astros on Friday, with the team now having a season-high seven-game winning streak. As New York got the better of Lance McCullers, the offense of the Yankees was helped by an impressive outing from Jazz Chisholm Jr., as he recorded four RBIs on three hits, one being a home run in the fourth inning.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aditude_inline_container aditude_ic_2\">\n<div id=\"aditude_article_inline_2\" class=\"aditude_div\" data-google-query-id=\"CMaa6oGaipQDFa1ADwIdsWQ01g\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/63317524\/yardbarker\/articles\/article_dynamic_2_0__container__\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_897,y_174,w_2926,h_1645\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/inside_the_pinstripes\/01kjdh2wp4n24j3sw9cy.jpg\" alt=\"Yankees Manager Addresses Giancarlo Stanton Injury Concerns\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s back-to-back days now.
