Stanton said Saturday that his injuries are "considered severe in both elbows," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton went on to cite bat adjustments from last season as the cause for his tennis elbow, and there is no telling how far he is from resuming baseball activities -- let alone playing in games. The veteran slugger also brought up the possibility of undergoing surgery to address the issue, which would force him to miss the entire 2025 campaign.

Stanton will return to New York on Monday to receive a third round of platelet-rich plasma injections in his elbows, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton has been dealing with tennis elbow in both arms, and the PRP injections are an effort to aid in the recovery process while avoiding surgery. Stanton will begin the regular season on the injured list, and how long he stays on the IL will depend on the progress in his recovery. He finished the 2024 regular season with a slash line of .233/.298/.475 with 27 home runs and 72 RBI across 459 plate appearances.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Stanton (elbows) has returned to camp but is unlikely to play in any games this spring, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton was given a second round of PRP injections to combat tennis elbow in both arms, which he and the club hope will allow him to avoid surgery. However, Stanton will still not be able to do much in terms of baseball activities, and it's probably going to be a long time before he's ready to play in games. His timetable to return is open-ended.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Thursday that Stanton will rejoin the club in Florida this weekend after he receives a second round of platelet-rich plasma injections in his elbows, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cashman added that Stanton -- who is dealing with tennis elbow in both arms -- will still not be able to do much when it comes to baseball activities, but the hope is that the PRP injections help hasten the recovery process and allow him to avoid surgery, which is seen as a "last resort." Stanton has already been ruled out for Opening Day, and his timetable to return is currently open-ended.

Stanton (elbows) will begin the season on the injured list, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton has been away from the team tending to a personal matter in New York since Monday. However, he's been continuing his rehab while away, receiving platelet-rich plasma injections in both of his elbows to help treat his tendinitis. He's expected to rejoin the team within the next week, but there is currently no timetable for his return.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that he's not sure when Stanton (elbows) will return to camp, but the skipper is hopeful it will happen "soon," Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton is dealing with tennis elbow in both arms and returned to New York earlier this week, although that trip was "personal in nature," per Boone. The manager indicated Monday that he hopes Stanton can return healthy "in the middle of the season," so it doesn't appear the Yankees expect to have their designated hitter playing in games anytime soon.

Stanton (elbows) returned to New York for further consultation and testing, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton won't be participating in baseball activities in the near future, and teammate Aaron Judge indicated Monday that he just wants a healthy Stanton "in the middle of the season." Given that it doesn't sound like the team has a great handle on Stanton's pain in both elbows and Judge's quotes Monday, fantasy managers should consider Stanton out indefinitely. Stanton's absence opens up an opportunity for someone like Ben Rice, Oswaldo Cabrera, Everson Pereira or J.C. Escarra to earn more playing time early in the season.

Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday said Stanton (elbows) won't resume baseball activities in the immediate future, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger hasn't swung a bat in weeks while dealing with tennis elbow in both arms, which is an injury he also played through last season. Stanton indicated that he's been experiencing a significant amount of pain, and it's unclear if he'll be ready to go by Opening Day.

Manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that there's no timetable for when Stanton (elbows) will resume baseball activities, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton is dealing with tennis elbow in both arms and has not swung a bat in several weeks. He battled the same issue with both elbows last season, as well, but the discomfort has reached a point to where he and the team decided shutting things down for a while was necessary. Stanton's availability for Opening Day is in question.

Stanton disclosed Monday that he hasn't swung a bat in 3-to-4 weeks and is dealing with a "very high" level of pain in both elbows, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton is dealing with tennis elbow in both arms, which is something he battled for much of last season, as well. The veteran designated hitter admitted that he's not sure that he will be ready in time for Opening Day. If Stanton requires a stint on the injured list, the Yankees could mix and match with some of their regular position players in the DH spot.
