Oct. 17 (UPI) -- All-Star slugger Giancarlo Stanton remained out of the New York Yankees' starting lineup for Thursday's Game 4 of the AL Championship Series against the Houston Astros.
Stanton, who has been sidelined because of a right quadriceps strain, tested the injury in a pregame workout and ran the bases Thursday at Yankee Stadium. New York manager Aaron Boone told reporters the team has seen improvement with Stanton's quad.
