After days of speculation, curiosity, and <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/is-giancarlo-stanton-considering-retirement\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>conspiracy<\/a>, the team confirmed that Giancarlo Stanton will start the 2025 MLB season on the injured list, dashing any hopes of his availability for Opening Day.<\/p><p>This is a significant setback for the Yankees, whose roster is already dealing with issues at third base and in the rotation following Luis Gil&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/luis-gil-injury-update-yankees-rotation-in-flux-as-luis-gil-heads-for-shoulder-mri\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>recent<\/a> MRI news. Now, with Stanton sidelined, the team faces a new dilemma: how to fill the <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/yankees-scramble-for-dh-solutions-as-giancarlo-stanton-questions-linger\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>designated hitter<\/a> role effectively. Unless the Yankees bring in outside help, they could be looking at an uninspiring stopgap solution &ndash; one that might be similar to their last season&rsquo;s experiment of a Jahmai Jones-like player playing DH.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Yankees announced that Giancarlo Stanton is still in New York attending to a personal matter. He received PRP injections in both elbows and will begin the season on the injured list.

He has received PRP injections in both elbows and is expected to return to Tampa sometime next week. The timeline for his recovery remains unclear, but his absence at the start of the season is confirmed.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/spring-has-sprung-but-these-mlb-free-agents-still-need-contracts\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Spring has sprung, but these MLB free agents still need contracts<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Giancarlo Stanton&rsquo;s injury history is well-documented. The 35-year-old slugger has struggled to stay on the field in recent years, failing to appear in more than 114 games in a season since 2021. However, despite his regular-season setbacks and injury-prone status, Stanton was a key figure in the Yankees&rsquo; 2024 postseason run, which ended just short of a championship. That alone underscores his value to the team in high-stakes moments.<\/p><p>While losing Giancarlo Stanton for the early portion of the season is a blow, the Yankees&rsquo; primary focus should be ensuring his availability for the stretch run and the postseason. If they can navigate the early weeks without him, the hope is that Stanton returns at full strength when it matters most.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bad news continues&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":24701,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[343,3662,483],"class_list":["post-24700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-giancarlo-stanton","tag-injury","tag-yankees"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Giancarlo Stanton injury update: Yankees star to miss opening day, start season on IL - The Playoffs<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Giancarlo Stanton will start the 2025 MLB season on the injured list, dealing a major blow to the Yankees&#039;
