New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who hasn’t played this season due to injuries in both elbows, is nearing a rehab assignment, according to Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.Speaking to MLB Network Radio, Cashman said that his designated hitter could return to live batting practice within the next two weeks, noting that Stanton “has been doing everything,” including completing baserunning drills and hitting off the pitching machine.”He’s getting really close to doing a rehab assignment thereafter,” Cashman said.Stanton, 35, was placed on 10-day injured list in late March and later transferred to the 60-day IL in May due to right and left elbow epicondylitis.
