Giancarlo Stanton to start season on IL after PRP injections
Briefly

The New York Yankees announced that Giancarlo Stanton will begin the 2025 season on the injured list due to ongoing elbow problems. The slugger has not participated in spring training activities and is currently receiving treatment in New York, including PRP injections. His absence weakens the Yankees' lineup, prompting discussions about potential replacements from free agency or those within the squad. Additionally, the pressure now mounts for Paul Goldschmidt to provide right-handed power, complementing Aaron Judge in the batting order to maintain offensive strength against rival pitchers.
Stanton's absence means the Yankees will need to adjust their lineup, potentially looking to free agents or lesser-known players to fill the gap left by his injury.
The Yankees' dependence on Stanton for power means the pressure now shifts to Paul Goldschmidt to deliver consistent and potent performances alongside Aaron Judge.
