Giancarlo Stanton heading back to NY for more PRP injections as elbow worries deepen
NY Post
TAMPA — Giancarlo Stanton was back at Yankee camp Friday, but not for long.
The slugger will head back to New York on Monday for yet another round of PRP injections on his ailing elbows, a team spokesman said Friday.
Stanton had been away since Feb. 24 to deal with a personal matter before he returned Friday, and there’s no telling when he’ll be able to resume baseball activities as he continues to deal with tennis elbow (tendinitis) that’s impacting both arms.
The Yankees already knew he would be out at least through the beginning of the regular season — and this third round of injections could delay his return even more.
He hasn’t swung a bat in nearly six weeks.
Before the announcement of the third round of PRPs, manager Aaron Boone said he didn’t expect Stanton to play in any spring training games.
