Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is set for live batting practice and could be on the verge of a rehab assignment soon, general manager Brian Cashman told MLB Network Radio.
“Stanton has been doing everything,” Cashman said. “He’s kind of completed his baserunning now, he’s been hitting for a long time with that tremendous BP machine that we have.
“… So he’s been getting live ABs, he’s scheduled for live BP in the next two weeks and I think he’s getting really close to doing a rehab assignment thereafter.”
New York transferred Stanton, 35, to the 60-day injured list May 1 due to right and left elbow epicondylitis.
Originally, the Yankees placed him on the 10-day injured list March 26.
In 114 games during the 2024 regular season, Stanton slashed .233/.298/.475 with 27 home runs and 72 RBI.
He upped his production during the Yankees’ run to a World Series appearance, slashing .273/.339/.709 with seven home runs and 16 RBI in 14 games.
