US EditionYankees Slugger Giancarlo Stanton Beginning His Rehab Assignment at Double-A Somerset
- After missing the entire season due to elbow injuries, Giancarlo Stanton began a minor-league recovery stint with the Somerset Patriots on Tuesday evening.
- Stanton's absence resulted from tendonitis in both elbows dating back to last season, which he has managed non-surgically to avoid missing more time.
- He went through spring training batting practice and live at-bats against pitching machines and minor leaguers before starting his rehab, where he was 2-for-3 with a walk and hit a two-run single at 111.4 mph.
- Giancarlo Stanton, who currently holds the most home runs among active MLB players with 429, is expected to serve primarily as the Yankees' designated hitter, with planned platoon starts and scheduled rest days as he transitions back into the lineup.
- His rehab assignment will likely be short, with potential return to the Yankees this weekend or early next week, but he will not play daily immediately due to the need for managing pain and recovery.
