Giancarlo Stanton Still Dealing With Elbow Pain, Hopes to Play Full Season
New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) is working through significant injuries to both his elbows as he prepares for spring training. He said that even a full offseason of rest has not helped his tennis elbow issues that have plagued both arms since 2024. He said, "I can't open a bottle. I can't open a bag of chips ... a bag of anything. That's the way it is." He is planning to play through the issue, though, and his goal remains to play the full season. The Yankees have taken it slow with Stanton in spring training, but they are hoping that he is ready to go for Opening Day, even though he has not yet made his Grapefruit League debut. Last season, he didn't play his first game until June 16, but he hit 24 homers in 77 games with a .273 batting average, .321 ISO, and .395 wOBA. Even while dealing with the issues, he offers good power potential as long as he stays in the lineup.
