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.

Stanton went 1-for-2 with an RBI single and a walk in Monday's 4-1 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The slugging outfielder's third-inning hit brought home Dee Gordon with the Marlins' second run of the night. He's now hit safely in eight of his last 10 games, banging out five multi-hit efforts over that span. Stanton also has eight RBI in his last eight contests and has driven in an impressive 19 runs overall in May.

Stanton went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs during Sunday's win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton has hit second in each of the past five games and gone 10-for-24 during that stretch with two homers, four RBI and three runs. Other sluggers -- Kris Bryant and Jose Bautista -- have succeeded in the two-hole, and Stanton's fantasy value won't be significantly impacted if he remains there long term. For the season, he's up to a .280/.341/.545 slash line with 13 round trippers, 34 RBI and 26 runs.

Stanton went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The first-inning blast off Jesse Chavez traveled an estimated 460 feet and caromed off the batter's eye in straightaway center field, giving the Marlins slugger 12 homers on the year and his first since May 8. Stanton may not have been putting the ball over the fence but he has been hitting, compiling a .317/.359/.467 slash line in those 15 games.

Stanton went 3-for-5 with three doubles, a run scored and three RBI in Saturday's win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The two-baggers came against three different pitchers over three consecutive at-bats, as Stanton helped lead a 10-run outburst by the Marlins offense. He's now hitting a solid .267/.339/.540 with 11 homers and 30 RBI in 42 games.

Stanton went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The homer, a blast to straightaway center field, was his 11th of the season and fourth in the last three games. The long balls tend to come in bunches for Stanton, so he could be a very appealing DFS option Tuesday against Adam Wainwright and his 1.2 HR/9 on the year.

Stanton finished 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI during Sunday's 7-0 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton gave his club a lead it would never relinquish early on, belting a three-run homer to left field in the first inning and adding a solo shot in the third. The slugger had gone 11 games without a homer prior to Saturday, but he now has three in his last nine at-bats and could be on the verge of another power binge after a productive weekend series.
