Aaron Boone got a chance to watch the replay of Giancarlo Stanton’s uninspired base running in the third inning of Saturday’s 3-1 win over the Astros, and the Yankees manager saw what everybody else did.

“Wasn’t a great look,” he said before the Bombers’ 9-7 loss to the Astros on Sunday afternoon in The Bronx. “But nothing other than him just making sure he doesn’t put himself in a dangerous position with the amount of things he’s had lower-body wise the last several years.”

Stanton was on second base after smacking a double down the left-field line off Astros starter Justin Verlander. Then DJ

LeMahieu laced a single to center, and Stanton was effortlessly thrown out at home after the 33-year-old rounded third almost nonchalantly.

He appeared to be laboring on his way to home plate before coming to a halt and getting tagged out by Houston catcher Martin Maldonado.

The Yankees ultimately didn’t need that run, but the concern over Stanton’s inability to hustle became the most notable part of the play.

“G. is sometimes between when he’s going straight line and sometimes if he gets his steps, you know, not timed up right, he gets himself into a tough spot,” Boone said.

Though he was emphatically waved home by third-base coach Luis Rojas, Stanton did not even attempt to slide and score a run in the midst of a tie game. When asked afterward about the play, which garnered a lot of negative reactions from fans, Boone acknowledged Stanton was probably prioritizing his health.

Boone doubled down on that sentiment in his pregame press conference Sunday.

“I think it’s been years now where he’s just making sure that he doesn’t want to — from a lower-body standpoint — put himself in any jeopardy,” he said.

Stanton missed 43 games earlier this season with a hamstring strain he sustained while running the bases in April, and the Yankees slugger has been dealing with lower-body injuries for much of his career.

The Yankees opted to pinch-run for Stanton later Saturday after he hit a single, though it was unclear if it was just an everyday in-game move or in response to his concerning base running.

Asked if he tells Stanton to be careful on the bases, Boone shot down that notion.

“He tries to get into that gait to where he’s not putting himself in a weird spot where he’s having to decelerate or move,” Boone said of Stanton, who has slashed .321/.387/.786 in his previous eight games before going 0-for-6 Sunday. “He tries to get in that comfortable position. But he takes that upon himself. I think he does have that fear of putting himself in a bad spot.”
