New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton has had a spring training he\u2019d like to soon forget.<\/p>\n

Because of tennis elbow in both of his arms, Stanton has not swung a bat in more than a month, let alone partake in any sort of competition. He also flew back to New York for two weeks during spring training to handle an undisclosed personal issue. And that\u2019s not all.<\/p>\n

According to The New York Post\u2019s Jon Heyman on Thursday, Stanton\u2019s injury woes go further than just his elbows.<\/p>\n

Giancarlo Stanton is said to be dealing with a chronic calf issue <\/i>as well as the elbow injuries, but the arm pain is the bigger problem. <\/i><\/p>\n

Memorial Day is one optimistic estimate heard for Stanton now.<\/i><\/p>\n

I think the Yankees would easily take that. If he needs surgery, his year is over. <\/i><\/p>\n

That timeline would mean that Stanton returns after missing about two months of the season, but even that feels optimistic. A \u201cchronic calf issue\u201d seems like something that Stanton will also have to manage, potentially for the rest of his career.<\/p>\n

When it comes to his elbows, Stanton had two rounds of PRP injections during his excused absence to attend to a personal issue and he\u2019ll return to New York on Monday for a third round.<\/p>\n

After that, Stanton will go back to waiting and hoping that his elbows get to a point that he can deal with severe elbow pain that might last for the remainder of his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cIdeally, no,\u201d Stanton said, referring to career-lasting elbow pain. \u201cBut I\u2019m in the line of work that you\u2019ve got to use them at a higher level every day, so who knows?<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s hope I\u2019m on the downward slope of the peak of where it\u2019s going to be in terms of that, and we\u2019ll get back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stanton is getting a third round of PRP injections because he says \u201cit\u2019s better protocol for the tendon from what I\u2019ve understood.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is some optimism that Stanton won\u2019t miss a lot of the season because he says his elbows \u201cdefinitely\u201d feel better than they did when he stopped his offseason hitting program in January or at the start of spring training.<\/p>\n

Stanton still isn\u2019t considering surgery. NYU Langone Health sports orthopedic surgeon Spencer Stein has had many patients with the same issues and recently told NJ Advance Media that surgery would fix the issue, but Stanton isn\u2019t so sure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t seem like that,\u201d he said. \u201cKnock it out for good for somewhat of a normal job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stanton has three more years at $86 million, plus a club option for $28 million or a $10 million buyout, on the rest of his 13-year deal.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old hit .233\/.298\/.475 (112 OPS+) last year with 27 home runs and 72 RBIs in 114 games (459 plate appearances).<\/p>\n
