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.

Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Stanton will be moved along slowly early in spring training due to discomfort in both elbows, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The skipper compared the issues to tennis elbow, which Stanton also played through down the stretch last season. The veteran slugger still has nearly six weeks before Opening Day, but it could be an ominous early development for a player that has seen action in fewer than 120 regular-season games in each of the past three seasons.

EDGE Analysis
He's one of a handful of regulars getting a breather as the Yankees send out a post-clinch lineup. Juan Soto is getting a start in the designated hitter slot while Alex Verdugo occupies right field.

EDGE Analysis
Stanton has gone 6-for-19 with two homers and eight RBI over his last five games. He opened the scoring in the second inning with his homer before adding a bases-clearing double as part of a six-run rally in the sixth.

Stanton came into Saturday having gone 12 games without a long ball and batting .122 with a 36.2 percent strikeout rate over that stretch. The veteran slugger shook the slump with a 441-foot, three-run blast in the third inning and reached two other times in the rout, notching his first multi-hit game since Sept. 1. Stanton is up to 26 home runs and 67 RBI on the season with a .234/.297/.476 slash line over 435 plate appearances.
