Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is working his way back from elbow injuries.

Overview

  • Giancarlo Stanton faced live pitching for the first time this season, taking at-bats against rehabbing pitcher Jake Cousins at Yankee Stadium.
  • Stanton grounded out in one at-bat and drew a walk in another, with manager Aaron Boone praising his control at the plate.
  • Despite this milestone, Boone stated that plans for Stanton's rehab assignment remain undecided, including its timing and structure.
  • Stanton will stay in New York to continue hitting off high-velocity pitching machines and advancing his running program as the Yankees head to the West Coast.
  • The Yankees are taking a cautious approach to Stanton’s recovery from chronic elbow tendinitis, aiming for a return after his 60-day injured list designation expires on May 27.
