Overview

• Giancarlo Stanton continues to recover from chronic elbow tendinitis but is not close to rejoining the Yankees' lineup.
• Stanton has started hitting off the Trajekt high-velocity pitching machine to rebuild his timing and strength.
• He plans to take minor league at-bats and undergo an 'expedited spring training' before returning to major league action.
• Stanton received three PRP injections earlier this year, which have improved his condition, though he will manage ongoing pain upon his return.
• Surgery has been ruled out as it would end his season, and the Yankees are adjusting their lineup in his absence to maintain competitiveness.
