Giancarlo Stanton is out with injured elbows and his return date is uncertain. However, the Yankees might have found the right candidate.

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.
