Giancarlo Stanton Faces Severe Elbow Injuries With No Return Timeline

The Yankees slugger is undergoing platelet-rich plasma treatments in hopes of avoiding season-ending surgery.

Giancarlo Stanton revealed that he is dealing with severe tendon injuries in both elbows, which he attributes to bat adjustments made last season.
He has not swung a bat since mid-January and is currently undergoing a third round of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to address the injuries.
Stanton stated that surgery remains an option but would sideline him for the entire season, which he is trying to avoid.
The injuries have affected his grip strength and day-to-day activities, with no clear timeline for his return to baseball activities.
The Yankees are exploring alternative designated hitter options, including Aaron Judge, while also managing injuries to players like Gerrit Cole, Luis Gil, and DJ LeMahieu.
