Stanton (wrist) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton was lifted early from Saturday's contest after being struck on the wrist by a fastball in the first inning. X-rays came back negative but the team has opted to give the slugger a day of rest Sunday. The Marlins are off on Monday, so it remains possible that Stanton will be able to rejoin the lineup Tuesday against the A's. Ichiro Suzuki will cover right field in his stead.

Stanton (wrist) exited Saturday's game with a right wrist contusion after being struck by a fastball in the first inning.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton underwent X-rays immediately following his exit from Saturday's game, which resulted in a negative test and an official listing of day-to-day by the club. Although the powerful outfielder clearly appeared to be in pain while leaving the affair, he could be back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Stanton will likely sit out and earn another day of rest with a scheduled off day coming for Miami on Monday.

Stanton (hand) exited Saturday's game in the first inning after being hit by a pitch on his right hand/forearm, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton seemed to be in pain, banging his helmet against the dugout railing as he left the field. The slugger was hit by a 95 mph fastball from Trevor Williams and was replaced by Ichiro Suzuki. More information on the injury will likely come in after the conclusion of the contest.

Stanton went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 12-7 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The blast, his 16th of the season, went over the batter's eye in PNC Park and traveled an estimated 449 feet, Stanton's third-longest homer of 2017. The slugger has stayed off the DL so far and is on pace for one of the most productive campaigns of his career, but given that he's only played 150 game in a season once since 2011, his continued good health can't be taken for granted.

Stanton went 2-for-3 with a double, a solo homer, a walk and three runs Friday against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton ripped his 15th homer of the campaign to give the Marlins a lead in the fifth inning that they'd never relinquish. The slugger's stayed healthy for a full two months, and he's been an elite fantasy option with an exceptional .926 OPS.

Stanton was 1-for-4 with an RBI, but he struck out three times during the Marlins' 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
It appears Stanton is continuing his hot streak, evidenced by his production on a night the rest of the Miami offense was mostly absent. Since May 20, he is hitting .395 with three home runs and 10 RBI. Thursday also marked his return after sitting out Wednesday with hamstring cramping.

Stanton (hamstring) is playing right field and batting second Thursday against the Diamondbacks, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Stanton is back in action after being held out of Wednesday's contest due to hamstring cramping. Stanton, who is slashing .284/.349/.557 with 14 homers this season, will face Zack Greinke in his return to the lineup.

Manager Don Mattingly said Wednesday that Stanton is dealing with cramping in his hamstring, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton is sitting Wednesday, but the decision to hold him out was described as "very precautionary." He is expected to return to the lineup for Thursday's series opener against the Diamondbacks. Barring a pinch-hit appearance, Stanton will finish May with a .299/.348/.579 slash line, seven homers and 21 RBI for the month.

Stanton is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
There has been nothing to suggest this is anything other than a rest day for the 27-year-old, with a day game on tap following a night game, and with the Marlins not having a scheduled day off until June 12. Stanton has raised his average more than 30 points since the calendar flipped to May, and he's added three homers in his last six games to bring his total to 14 on the year. His first 40-homer season seems well within reach, provided he stays healthy.

Stanton went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The opposite-field shot in the third inning, Stanton's 14th homer of the season, proved to be the winning runs in a 7-2 victory. It's his third homer in the last five games, and the slugger has been locked in with a .414/.452/.724 slash line over the last week.
