New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton is expected to return from his elbow injury during the team’s series against the Los Angeles Angels, according to manager Aaron Boone, per MLB's Bryan Hoch.

Stanton has been sidelined all year so far with tennis elbow in both of his arms. He played in rehab games with Somerset on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Stanton was back at Yankee Stadium on Friday for a light workout and recovery day. Boone said he’ll be able to share Stanton’s Saturday plans definitively later in the evening on Friday.

Giancarlo Stanton, the reigning ALCS MVP, is one step closer to rejoining the New York Yankees. Stanton will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with the Double-A Somerset Patriots on Tuesday, the team announced. He has not yet played this season due to what amounts to tennis elbow in both elbows.
