Stanton went 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI and two runs Thursday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

He's been hot for nearly a week now, ripping off two homers among 10 hits in 25 at-bats (.400) over a six-game span. Looking at the stats right now, his has been a disastrous season for Stanton, but a productive end to June and then a big second half will make everyone forget about his early struggles. If anyone can be counted on to do just that, it's the Marlins' slugging right fielder.

Stanton is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Stanton struggles at the plate continued as he struck out twice and had zero hits in five at-bats during Tuesday's loss to the Braves. Ichiro Suzuki will start in right field instead and lead off in order to get more lefties in the lineup to face right-hander John Gant.

Stanton went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

All eight runs scored in this one were on solo homers, and Stanton got his out of the way early after going back-to-back with Marcell Ozuna in the first inning. The Marlins had to be relieved to see their young slugger go yard again, as he hadn't done so since May 24. Hopefully he'll start producing again with that monkey off his back.

Stanton went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI during Friday's win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

It's rare that a pair of base hits qualifies as a newsworthy effort from Stanton, but it was just his second multi-hit game since May 13. He's driven in just five runs during the month of June but did manage to get his average back up to the Mendoza line. The struggling slugger is batting .200/.309/.420 over 200 at-bats this season.

Stanton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Don Mattingly will give Ichiro Suzuki the nod in right field Tuesday in place of Stanton, who has been mired in one of the worst slumps of his career. Stanton went 1-for-3 with a double in his return to the lineup Tuesday, but he also had had a strikeout, marking 12 consecutive games with a K for him. His next chance to return to the lineup will come Friday against the Rockies.

Stanton is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

The slumping Stanton got the night off Monday in the midst of a 4-for-39 stretch over the last two days week. The 26-year-old is scuffling mightily on the year and he has been unable to go on one of his signature hot streaks thus far in 2016. Still, he's too talented to be mired in a slump for too much longer, so a return to form could be around the corner. He'll bat fifth in the order Tuesday against lefty Drew Pomeranz.

Stanton is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against San Diego.

EDGE Analysis

Ichiro will play right field for the Marlins on Monday night, while Stanton is on the bench against Padres right-hander Colin Rea. No reason has been given for Stanton's absence at this time.

Stanton went 0-for-5 with one RBI in his return to the lineup during Tuesday's loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

The slugger's struggles continue as his season line has dropped to a pedestrian .197/.310/.439 through 48 games. The power numbers are passable (12 homers and 28 RBI over 173 at-bats), but it is difficult to characterize Stanton's first two months as anything more than a disappointment. Of course, we've seen him break out of similar slumps in the past with unparalleled hot-stretches so owners simply need to stay patient and let the perennial all-star figure things out at the dish. Cutting down on his current 34.5% strikeout rate, which easily represents the worst rate of his career, would be a great place to start.

Stanton is back in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

After getting the day off for Sunday's series finale against the Mets, Stanton will return to the lineup for Tuesday's tilt in Minnesota. Stanton has faced some difficult struggles at the plate over the last month, slashing .118/.230/.263 with 37 strikeouts in that span, but he'll have an opportunity to break out of that slump when he faces left-hander Pat Dean on Tuesday. Despite his struggles, Stanton is still slashing a more-than-respectable .267/.389/.567 against southpaws on the year.

Stanton is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Since returning to action Wednesday, Stanton has made four straight starts in right field, but has gone a miserable 1-for-14 over that span, striking out seven times. He'll get the day off Sunday to catch a breather and hopefully right the ship, while Ichiro Suzuki will get the starting nod in right.
