The Yankees are once again dealing with uncertainty surrounding Giancarlo Stanton’s health, as the veteran slugger has been diagnosed with elbow discomfort in both arms. The team is officially calling it elbow tendinitis, an issue he battled during last year’s postseason. At 35 years old and with a history of nagging injuries, Stanton’s status for Opening Day remains unclear.
Lingering Health Concerns
Stanton has struggled to stay on the field in recent years, playing no more than 115 games in a season since 2018. While he still brings raw power to the lineup, his durability is a constant question mark.
