New York Yankees star slugger Giancarlo Stanton has been dealing with tendinitis in both elbows that kept him on the shelf throughout spring training. And although Stanton is starting the season on the injured list, manager Aaron Boone gave an optimistic update on the 35-year-old ahead of Thursday's opener against the Milwaukee Brewers.

The New York Yankees got their 2025 season off on the right foot Thursday, topping the visiting Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 behind home runs from catcher Austin Wells — whose blast was the first in MLB history by a catcher to lead off Opening Day — and shortstop Anthony Volpe.

The New York Yankees are starting the season without Giancarlo Stanton at their disposal. However, a new report indicates he could be back soon.
