Overview

  • Giancarlo Stanton took live batting practice for the first time this season, followed by on-field BP, as he recovers from bilateral elbow tendinitis.
  • Stanton's rehab assignment timeline remains undefined, but he is expected to require minor league games before his return, eligible no earlier than May 27.
  • Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated Stanton’s rehab plan may differ from others due to his role as a designated hitter, which does not require fielding preparation.
  • Jonathan Loáisiga, recovering from right elbow surgery, advanced his rehab assignment to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, signaling progress toward rejoining the bullpen.
  • Loáisiga is scheduled for multiple appearances at Triple-A, with a potential return to the Yankees by the end of May to bolster their pitching staff.
