The New York Yankees finally get some urgently needed positive news about the injury front, and none other than Giancarlo Stanton.

According to Manager Aaron Boone, the 35-year-old bat has again hit interiors after receiving PRP treatments in both elbows. It is the first big step forward in weeks, and while the road stays for a long time, it offers a glimmer of hope for the second half of the 2025 season.

A painful low season, but sign of life

Stanton has been fighting chronic pain in both elbows for months – a problem that is described as more than just typical wear. It was enough to completely close it and keep it out of baseball activities.

For a while, the possibility of an operation in the air remained like a dark cloud above the Yankees clubhouse.

But from this weekend Boone revealed that “there are a few good weeks”, which signaled that the PRP treatments could do their job. Stanton does not swing outside yet, but every form of impact activity is a step in the right direction.

The Yankees play the long game

There is no hurry and the Yankees know. Since you have carefully approached Stanton’s situation, it is clear that the team has a healthy return on a quick priority.

The hope is that Stanton is ready for the rear half of the season, ideally directly during the All-Star break. That would give the Yankees a power boost if it is most important -especially if they are with a playoff race.

Nevertheless, a setback could completely change the timeline, so that optimism is held with a healthy dose of realism.

Why Stanton is still important for the Yankees

Despite his declining metrics in the last seasons, Stanton remains a player. Last year he pressed 27 Homeruns in 114 games and had one of the best post -seasons in recent memory. 709 with seven homers in just 14 playoff games.

If the Yankees can get something near this version of Stanton on the track, it could be the X factor that they need in October.

But for now they will take the little victories. He swings a bat again – and for a man whose elbow screamed not too long ago, this is a victory.
