US EditionYankees DH Giancarlo Stanton ready to swing, can't open bag of chips
Giancarlo Stanton manages chronic tennis elbow pain while aiming to play a full 162-game season for the Yankees despite limited spring training participation.
- Giancarlo Stanton, a New York Yankees slugger, enters spring training still managing epicondylitis and has yet to appear in a spring game, but expects to be in the Opening Day lineup after two weeks of consistent at-bats.
- Stanton has epicondylitis and told Randy Miller, NJ.com, surgery won't fix it for his job, adding, `I can't open a bottle`.
- Last season, he appeared in just 77 games but hit.273/.350/.594 with 24 home runs and 66 RBIs, maintaining power despite limited play.

- Stanton aims to play all 162 games, plans to manage pain rather than pursue surgery, and is scheduled for an exhibition vs. Team Panama as his timeline develops.
