Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is uncertain for opening day because of tendinitis in both elbows
TAMPA, Fla. — New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is uncertain for opening day because of chronic tendinitis in both elbows. Asked whether the issue could impact Stanton’s availability for the March 27 opener against Milwaukee, manager Aaron Boone responded: “Tough to say.” “I’m not going to put any timeline on it. “I’m expecting him to be OK. It’s just a matter of when we’re going to start really rolling it out to feel like — give us the best chance to get as much of him as we can.” In addition, outfielder Trent Grisham pulled his left hamstring a few weeks ago in training but is running at close to full speed. “Giancarlo’s a little behind just dealing with some elbow stuff that he dealt with last year, actually both elbows kind of really akin to tennis elbow,” Boone said. “You take a big right-handed bat out there, you’re a little unbalanced there.” Bench coach also hurt Bench coach Brad Ausmus pulled a hamstring badly in a pickup basketball game on Saturday, Boone said.
