Leaner Giancarlo Stanton 'Ready to Go' for 2026, Eyeing Outfield Time

Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton, 36, arrived at camp leaner and 'ready to go,' though he'll continue managing a chronic elbow condition. After a lost 2023, he had a strong 2024 and an impressive 2025 season with 24 homers, 66 RBIs in 77 games, and a career-high .944 OPS. Manager Aaron Boone plans to utilize Stanton in the outfield occasionally, believing it aids his health. With 453 career home runs, he's focused on winning a World Series, with two guaranteed years left on his contract.
