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.
According to a report from beat writer Bryan Hoch, Boone told reporters in pregame media availability on Thursday that Stanton was progressing well and has already begun swinging a bat.
