Giancarlo Stanton Progresses in Elbow Recovery, Yankees Weigh Options

Giancarlo Stanton of the New York Yankees continues to make progress in his recovery from elbow tendinitis, although he remains uncertain about the timeline for his return. He is currently hitting off a Trajekt machine to regain strength but emphasized the need for minor league rehab games before rejoining the major league lineup. Stanton acknowledged that he will likely play through some pain as he continues to manage his elbow issues. Meanwhile, the Yankees have started the 2025 season strong, scoring 36 runs in their first three games despite Stanton's absence. The team is using new 'torpedo bats,' which some believe are helping improve player performance. While Stanton's return is eagerly anticipated, he is cautious about rushing back to avoid further injury.
