Giancarlo Stanton is getting closer to a return from the tennis elbows he’s been dealing with since before spring training.
Stanton said Tuesday he’s hitting off some high velocity, but is not “close” to a minor league rehab assignment, which he added he’ll need because of his extended absence.

He also declined to blame the use of the torpedo bat he experimented with last season.
