ARLINGTON, Texas — Sitting behind a desk in the manager’s office five minutes after another Yankees win, this one a 4-2 series opener over the Rangers on Monday night, Aaron Boone talked about Max Fried’s six shutout innings as well as the left-hander’s “great” and “unique” pickoff move producing another out.

He talked about Ben Rice pulling off the near impossible with an opposite-field homer to left-center field at Globe Life Field and Aaron Judge coming up next and hitting a “1 to 12 breaking ball” out to left for a “hold your beer moment.”

He talked about nervously watching from the visiting dugout when the Rangers were rallying in the ninth on David Bednar and thinking to himself, “Hang on, baby, just hang on!”

And then Suzyn Waldman chimed in with a question that’s been asked every day since last Friday in Houston, sometimes twice.

Any word on Giancarlo Stanton?

This time Boone had news to pass along:

“Low grade (right calf sprain). IL. It doesn’t look too serious, but enough to not want to wait a couple more days. So we’ll see what we have as the week unfolds.”

Stanton first felt calf tightness jogging from first to second base when Jazz Chisholm walked in the sixth inning of last Friday’s 12-4 win in Houston. He left the game after slowly advancing to third base on a hit by , then sat out the last three games.
