On Wednesday, the 35-year-old DH stepped into the cage and took some healthy hacks, a day after facing live pitching from teammate Jake Cousins. It was Stanton&rsquo;s first on-field BP since being shelved with <em>epicondylitis<\/em> in both elbows, a condition that derailed his offseason and wiped out the start of his 2025 campaign.<\/p><p>He played through the pain last year, including the ALCS against Cleveland, where he powered through to win series MVP. But the injury hasn&rsquo;t gone away. And if you ask Stanton, it&rsquo;s probably never going to.<\/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=\"in\" dir=\"ltr\">Giancarlo taking BP &#128525; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jmuPTHxGvj\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/jmuPTHxGvj<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TalkinYanks\/status\/1920231490853437826?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 7, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p><em>&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to keep talking about this, because I&rsquo;ve went over and over it,&rdquo;<\/em> Stanton said, clearly tired of the injury narrative. <em>&ldquo;If I&rsquo;m out there, I&rsquo;m good enough to play.

To speed recovery, he&rsquo;s already undergone three rounds of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections this year alone. And while he&rsquo;s swinging again, nobody&rsquo;s betting on him to stay healthy for long.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Will Giancarlo Stanton Return?<\/h2><p>Stanton hasn&rsquo;t appeared in a single game this season. He&rsquo;ll need a minor league rehab stint before returning to live action, though Boone hinted on Wednesday that Stanton could be back as soon as late May, potentially during the Yankees&rsquo; upcoming West Coast trip to Anaheim and Los Angeles.<\/p><p>Still, even that timeline feels optimistic given his injury history.<\/p><p>Boone added that Stanton&rsquo;s rehab might look different from others on the roster. Since he won&rsquo;t be playing the field, all they need is for his bat to be playable. He&rsquo;s been facing high-velocity reps on the Trajekt pitching machine for weeks, and he&rsquo;ll keep working on timing during the Yankees&rsquo; road trip while staying back in the Bronx.<\/p><p>But what exactly are the Yankees getting when he <em>does<\/em> come back? Stanton&rsquo;s power is unquestionable when he&rsquo;s healthy, but that &ldquo;when&rdquo; has become the biggest asterisk in the entire Yankees lineup.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/yankees-top-prospect-george-lombard-jr-climbs-to-double-a-why-the-timing-matters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Yankees Top Prospect George Lombard Jr. Climbs to Double-A: Why the Timing Matters<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>Yes, he hit in the postseason. Yes, he&rsquo;s still one of the most feared power threats in the game when locked in. But fans have heard this story before. He ramps up, returns with a bang, and then disappears, again. If he can keep up the postseason power, and perpetual clutch performances, no one&rsquo;s complaining, but it shouldn&rsquo;t get to a point where the Yankees (21-16) struggle to make it there.<\/p><p>And now, at 35, he&rsquo;s openly admitting this discomfort might be something he&rsquo;ll carry for the rest of his career. That&rsquo;s a tough pill for the Yankees to swallow considering he&rsquo;s still under contract through 2027, with a $25 million club option in 2028.<\/p><p>For now, Stanton&rsquo;s swinging. He&rsquo;s progressing. But until he&rsquo;s in the lineup, and staying there, it&rsquo;s hard to believe that the Yankees can count on him.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can the Yankees really count on him?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":50214,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[483],"class_list":["post-50213","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-yankees"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
