New York Yankees star Giancarlo Stanton's availability for Opening Day is in jeopardy due to elbow tendinitis. Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated that while there is no clear timeline for Stanton's recovery, the team intends to proceed cautiously. Meanwhile, outfielder Trent Grisham is recovering from a hamstring injury and is nearing full recovery. In an unfortunate turn, bench coach Brad Ausmus suffered a significant hamstring injury during a basketball game, a situation Boone humorously likened to his own past injury that led the Yankees to acquire Alex Rodriguez.
