Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton dealing with calf injury in addition to elbow issues; timeline still unknown
Giancarlo Stanton can't catch a break.
The Yankees designated hitter is already dealing with tennis elbow in both his arms, which will keep him off the roster to start the season, but manager Aaron Boone revealed that Stanton has a calf injury as well.
Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported Thursday that Stanton's calf ailment is "chronic" but that the elbow injuries are the bigger problem.
Stanton is back with the Yankees in camp after he had his third PRP injection on his elbows, but the team still doesn't have a timetable for the slugger's return.
Heyman did report that an optimistic estimate for a Stanton return is Memorial Day, but it's way too early to tell.
As Stanton tries to overcome his elbow issues, surgery has not been ruled out for the slugger. But the former NL MVP admitted that if he were to go under the knife, it could certainly be season-ending.
Stanton had an injury-plagued 2024 season, managing to play in 114 regular season games and slash .233/.298/.475 with 27 homers and 72 RBI. He hit seven home runs and had 16 RBI in 14 playoff games, however.
