Giancarlo Stanton has begun swinging a bat, according to New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone. That’s an encouraging sign toward the slugger’s return as he begins the 2025 season on the injured list due to tendinitis in both of his elbows.
Since receiving two rounds of platelet-rich plasma injections to accelerate healing in the elbows, Stanton has steadily improved each day, Boone said. However, the Yankees still haven’t placed a timetable on his return.
“He’s doing pretty well,” Boone told reporters on Thursday. “I think we’ve all been encouraged by the last couple of weeks. Still no timetable on anything. But he’s been able to swing the bat and feel like there’s been some steady improvement day after day.”
