The New York Yankees continue to dominate offensively in baseball, even after parting ways with one of the sport’s top hitters. Paul Goldschmidt and Ben Rice have stepped up following Juan Soto’s move to the New York Mets, aiding Aaron Judge in leading the Yankees to the highest home run count, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage across Major League Baseball at this point.

However, as the playoff race intensifies, the team wouldn’t turn down an additional advantage. This is why there’s ongoing focus on Giancarlo Stanton’s current injury recovery. Since joining the Yankees in 2018, Stanton has frequently been sidelined due to injuries over five seasons.

Nevertheless, when fit, he ranks among baseball’s most powerful hitters, having energized the Yankees last autumn with seven postseason home runs. As he aims to make his season debut despite elbow issues, Stanton indicated to reporters on Wednesday that a return might be possible by late May.

Yet, he appears to be growing weary of the constant inquiries about his health. “I don’t want to keep talking about this because I’ve done it over and over,” Stanton remarked when questioned about his pain level, as reported by The Athletic. “If I’m out there, I’m good enough to play.

There’s no levels or anything else.” To be fair to Stanton, it might be tough to repeatedly discuss his health amid numerous stints on the injured list. On the flip side, fans are eager to know when he could rejoin the lineup and what level of performance he anticipates.
