Giancarlo Stanton is moving closer to returning to the New York Yankees. The team has been waiting for his comeback after he was sidelined with an elbow injury. While there is no fixed date yet, signs point to progress.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone gave an update on Stanton's status this week, hinting that more news is expected very soon.
Giancarlo Stanton Could Soon Start Rehab Work
On Wednesday, June 4, 2025, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke to reporters about Giancarlo Stanton's recovery. He said that Stanton could be taking the 'next step' in his return soon. Boone confirmed that Stanton would be in New York shortly and that more updates would follow within a day. The manager shared this during his media appearance before the Yankees' game.
Boone told reporters, 'I think he was doing baseball activities, but not live at-bats yet. He's probably headed up here. Hopefully, we'll have more information in the next 24 hours.' He also said he didn't want to speak too early before checking with the player and the team staff.

Back on May 25, 2025, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman had shared with MLB Network Radio that Stanton was 'getting really close' to starting a rehab assignment.
He mentioned that Stanton had been hitting off a pitching machine and 'doing everything.'
Stanton, who is 35 years old, was placed on the 10-day injured list in late March 2025. In May 2025, he was moved to the 60-day injured list. He has been dealing with elbow issues in both arms — a problem that had also caused trouble during the 2024 season.

Injuries Have Slowed Down a Star Career

Aaron Judge just ended 2017 Andrew Benintendi debate with one legendary statline
Aaron Judge just ended 2017 Andrew Benintendi debate with one legendary statline (Image via Getty) Back in 2017, a comparison was made between two of the best rookie players in baseball- Andrew Benintendi of the Boston Red Sox and Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees. At that time, one well-known columnist chose Benintendi over Judge for the future. Eight years later, the numbers and career paths show a very different picture. Aaron Judge proves 2017 critics wrong with historic rise over Andrew Benintendi On August 21, 2017, a column published in The Boston Globe favored Andrew Benintendi over Aaron Judge as the better long-term pick. The writer pointed to their head-to-head matchups that season. In their first 15 games against each other, Benintendi had better results: 4 home runs and 12 RBIs, while Judge hit just .155 with 1 home run and 2 RBIs against the Red Sox. Benintendi was thought to be a powerful all-round performer at the time. During the 2018 ALCS versus the Houston Astros, he had already made a significant contribution by making a critical catch that enabled the Red Sox to win the series and afterward the World Series. Boston had Aaron Judge five seasons before he was dealt to the Kansas City Royals in February 2021. In 2022, he was subsequently chosen to be an All-Star. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Although not quite elite, Benintendi is a good hitter with a career average of .269 as of the moment.

The Yankees' captain, two-time MVP, and six-time All-Star is presently 33 years old. Breaking the American League record, he hit 62 home runs in 2022. In 2023, he had 58 home runs, 144 RBIs, and a.322 average. Leading the league in several areas, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging, and total bases, Judge is set to do so in 2025. He is on course to have the greatest slugging season since Babe Ruth as of June. Judge honestly accepted culpability and vowed to bounce back stronger even after a critical mistake in Game 5 of the 2024 World Series.

'That's not the case': Mookie Betts shuts down all talk as fans blame his slump on shortstop move
'That's not the case': Mookie Betts shuts down all talk as fans blame his slump on shortstop move (Image via Getty) Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts has been going through a rough patch at the plate in recent weeks. Even though the Dodgers have done well overall in the 2025 MLB season so far, Betts' numbers have dipped. The 31-year-old, who started playing shortstop this season, has cleared the air on what's really behind his recent offensive struggles. Mookie Betts makes bold statement after silence over Dodgers struggles says position change is not hurting his hitting On Thursday, June 5, 2025, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, the Dodgers played the final game of a four-game home series against the New York Mets. The Dodgers won the game 6-5 after coming from behind. Mookie Betts played well, going 2-for-2 with two walks and two runs scored. He also hit the first run of the game for the Dodgers. After the win, Betts spoke to reporters and addressed the talk about his hitting slump. Many thought his new role as starting shortstop might be the reason for his dip in batting. But Betts shut down those rumors. 'That's not the case,' Mookie Betts said, as reported by 'You can try and point out whatever you want to do, but there are no excuses. It's just a matter of me getting it done.' Betts has not played in the outfield this year. He's been a full-time shortstop since Opening Day in April 2025. Before this switch, he mostly played right field. He said that he actually did more defensive work last season when he had MVP-level numbers. 'Last year, I was going to win an MVP. So, you can't really argue about that,' Betts added during the postgame media session on June 5. 'I was doing way more work last year than now.'

He came back on Monday, June 2, and played three games. In those three games, he went 4-for-11, which is better than the 7-for-34 he had in the eight games before the injury. Earlier in the 2024 season, Mookie Betts was off to a strong start, but in June 2024, he suffered a fractured left hand after getting hit by a pitch. That injury kept him out for nearly two months. After returning, he was moved back to the outfield and helped the Dodgers finish strong. Betts ended the 2024 season with a .289 batting average, 19 home runs, and 75 RBIs in 116 games. He had a 4.8 bWAR and ranked 13th in the National League MVP race.
