Stanton will be held out of Wednesday's lineup due to hip soreness, but the injury is not considered serious, the Miami Herald's Clark Spencer reports.
EDGE Analysis
He went 1-for-2 with a RBI double and a walk Tuesday before being replaced by a pinch hitter, so something likely happened with his hip during Tuesday's game. Derek Dietrich and Ichiro Suzuki are options to replace Stanton in the lineup Wednesday. The Marlins are off Thursday, which will provide Stanton with an extra day of rest. He should be considered day-to-day in advance of this weekend's series against the White Sox.

Stanton launched a 508-foot solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
The blast was Stanton's 23rd on the year and notably the longest home run in Coors Field history. Overall, however, Stanton continues to limp along this season while batting a disappointing .242/.329/.490 over 359 at-bats. He's hit just three home runs in 21 games since the All-Star break.

Stanton went 2-for-5 with a home run in Wednesday's 11-1 victory over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The surging outfielder's two-run homer traveled 430 feet in the first inning, giving Stanton 22 bombs and 59 RBI on the season. After a horrendous start to his 2016 campaign, Stanton has righted the ship and is back on pace to hit 35-plus longballs and challenge 100 RBI. Stanton was hitting a pathetic .193 as of June 15, but has since raised his average more than 50 points while ripping off nine home runs and 28 RBI during the resurgence.

Stanton went 4-for-5 with a homer and three RBI in a victory over the Mets on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The big right-hander had just one hit in his previous 13 at-bats, so it was nice to see him break out again. This was his first home run since winning the Home Run Derby. Stanton is hitting .241 with 21 homers, 55 RBI and 44 runs in 311 at-bats.

Stanton is not in the lineup Thursday against Philadelphia, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton will get his first game off since the start of the All-Star break as Ichiro Suzuki takes his place in right and bats leadoff. Stanton is 0-for-9 in his last two games but has collected two multi-hit games and three doubles since the start of the second half.

Stanton doubled, walked, scored one run and drove in one RBI as part of a 2-for-3 effort Friday against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Stanton had a strong finish to an otherwise forgettable first half, carrying a seven game hitting streak into the break and then mashing his way to a Home Run Derby crown. He picked up right where he left off before All-Star festivities as Stanton continues to push his .238/.335/.500 slash line back to respectability. THe lumbering outfielder has slugged five home runs over what is now an eight game hit-streak and is up to 41 runs scored and 51 RBI on the year.

Stanton went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run shot, his 20th home run of the season, in Sunday's win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
His bat has suddenly come alive heading into the All-Star break, and Stanton now has a seven-game hitting streak going that includes five homers and 10 RBI. Don't be surprised if he steals the show during the Home Run Derby.

Stanton went 2-for-3 with two solo homers in a loss to the Mets on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins slugger accounted for both of Miami's runs in the 4-2 loss. In the last two days, he's been absolutely on fire, going 5-for-7 with four homers, seven RBI and four runs. Stanton has 19 bombs this season, including seven since missing time at the end of May.

Stanton went 3-for-4 with two home runs, his 16th and 17th of the year, and five RBI Tuesday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The slugger matched his career high for RBI in a game to lift the Marlins to a much-needed with against their divisional foe. Stanton is certainly showing signs of progress after a horrid start to 2016, but that improvement still isn't coming as quickly as owners want. Despite recording hits in eight of his last 12 games, the outfielder's average has only risen 10 points, and still sits at a putrid .226 through 265 at-bats.
