Dr. Spencer Stein, a sports orthopedic surgeon at NYU Langone Health, details what Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is dealing with and facing with tennis elbow in both arms.

Stanton’s average bat speed of 81.3 mph was by far the fastest in the majors in 2024. The second-fastest bat in the game belonged to the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Oneil Cruz at 78.6 mph. The 2.7 mph difference between Stanton and Cruz was also the distance between Cruz and the No.

Giancarlo Stanton didn’t exactly paint an optimistic picture in discussing what Yankees manager Aaron Boone on Sunday characterized as the “tennis elbow” the designated hitter arrived with at spring training.
