An orthopedic. surgeon explained what could be causing Yankees star Giancarlo Stanton's pain in both elbows, an injury which could cause him to miss Opening Day.

Stanton said he dealt with the condition, which is in both elbows, most of last season — including in October, when he was by far the Yankees’ best offensive performer as they reached the World Series. He said he has not swung a bat in the last “three to four weeks.” It is not clear when he will begin doing so.

The New York Yankees are already dealing with an injury to one of their top power hitters. Giancarlo Stanton has soreness in both elbows and hasn't swung a bat in three to four weeks, he revealed Monday morning. He said the injury is something he played through last season, and added he expects to do the same this year.
