Giancarlo Stanton’s birthday is off to a hot start.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit stunner Chase Carter posted a special message to the Yankees slugger, who turned 29 on Thursday.

“Thanks for not pushing me in even though I know you wanted to. Happy happy birthday @giancarlo818,” Carter posted to her Instagram story, captured by SportsGossip.com.

Carter, who recently trained for her first New York City Marathon, has been linked to Stanton since this summer, when they soaked up the sun in the Bahamas during the All-Star break in July.

Stanton and Carter reportedly first crossed paths in June at pitcher CC Sabathia’s charity softball game.
