After sweeping the Milwaukee Brewers to open the 2025 season, the New York Yankees, stymied by Arizona Diamondbacks' elite pitching in the first two games of the club's second series of the season, found themselves facing a sweep entering Thursday's game.

Giancarlo Stanton said he plans to use the torpedo bat when he returns from the IL and won't blame the bat for his injuries.

Giancarlo Stanton is not close to returning from the elbow tendinitis in both arms that’s bothered him since last year, but the Yankees DH said he is making progress.
