Giancarlo Stanton Cleared for Spring Training with No Restrictions

Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced Wednesday that Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) had a great offseason and will begin spring training without any restrictions. Despite this positive update, reports from last week indicated that his tennis elbow injuries, which delayed his 2025 season debut until mid-June, have not fully healed and will require close monitoring in 2026. The 36-year-old outfielder was superb when healthy last season, slashing .273/.350/.594 with 24 home runs across 77 regular-season contests.
