Giancarlo Stanton will begin the season on the injured list with elbow injuries.

The Yankees announced Stanton will miss the start of the season with elbow problems.

Stanton is a variable in the Yankees ' calculations for offsetting the loss of Juan Soto .

DJ LeMahieu , Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswaldo Peraza are the options at third base.

Jasson Dominguez is a rookie with just 100 major league plate appearances under his belt.

Aaron Judge will move back to second in the Yankees ' leadoff batting order this season .

Luis Gil , one of five projected starters, will be shut down for at least six weeks .

Marcus Stroman's insistence on remaining a starting pitcher -- and not pitching out of the bullpen -- made for awkwardness.

The Yankees had been looking to trade Stroman -- and his $18.5 million salary -- going back to the offseason.

Now, it looks like he'll remain in pinstripes and get his chance to start -- at least to begin the season .
